PHYSICAL HEALTH

Would you like to:

• Decrease your risk of disease?

• Feel better physically and mentally?

• Look better?

• Help avoid injuries?

• Keep doing activities you enjoy throughout your life?

Regular physical activity will help you do these things. Physical activity is essential to prevent and reduce risks of many diseases and improve physical and mental health. It can even help you live longer—research from the American Journal of Preventative Medicine indicates that regular exercise can add up to five years to your life.

Physical activity also keeps you in shape so you can enjoy leisure activities and safely perform work and home chores. It offers great mental and social benefits as well. Positive outcomes to physical activity can include, “a sense of purpose and value, a better quality of life, improved sleep, and reduced stress, as well as stronger relationships and social connectedness.”

Physical activity reduces risk for eight conditions

According to the Centers for Disease Control, exercise can reduce your risk of:

• Heart disease

• Stroke

• High blood pressure

• Type 2 diabetes

• Obesity

• Depression

• Breast and colon cancer

• Osteoporosis

Fitness for kids

Regular physical exercise is important for younger generations too, especially with the rise of obesity in children. Heart disease, type 2 diabetes, asthma, and social discrimination are just a few of the possible consequences of a childhood spent in front of the television or the internet.
