Regular Exercise Pays Off Big Time
Keeping physically active is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. But unfortunately many of us feel we don’t have the time or motivation to exercise regularly.
The good news is, it doesn’t take much to make a difference. As little as 30 minutes’ moderate exercise a day has fantastic health benefits.
So if you’re not as fit and healthy as you could be, now’s the time to get started on a fresh exercise program.
Being physically active is an important part of leading a healthy lifestyle the old saying ‘if you don’t use it you lose it’ is true.
Scientific evidence clearly links regular physical activity to a wide range of physical and mental health benefits. People who enjoy regular physical activity tend to:
- Live longer
- Be less likely to have a heart attack or stoke
- Have reduced risk of developing diabetes and some cancers
- Feel more energetic
- Manage their weight better
- Have a healthier blood cholesterol level
- Have lower blood pressure
- Have stronger bones and muscles
- Feel more confident and happy
- Be able to sleep better
Most people will benefit from being more active. People who have previously been very inactive should gradually introduce activity into their lives.
People who were fit in early life can mistakenly still consider themselves to be fit, without doing any activity, in middle age. Unfortunately the benefits attained early in life cannot be stored - physical activity needs to be regular, ideally taken every day.
