Physical activity can be a lifesaver – literally. When you’re active 30 to 60 minutes a day, most days of the week, you can dramatically lower your risk of heart disease and stroke. Regular activity has a number of proven, positive health effects, especially on heart health. Vigorous exercise strengthens the heart as a pump, making it a larger, more efficient muscle. Even moderate activity can boost HDL (High Density Lipoprotein) the good cholesterol, aid the circulatory system, and lower blood pressure and blood fats. All these effects translate into reduced risk for heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.

Fitness Basics

Exercise can also offer other benefits including strengthened muscles, increased flexibility and stronger bones which can help ward off the bone-thinning condition called osteoporosis. Regular activity also promotes mental-health benefits, like relieving stress and anxiety. And it can help you sleep better and renew your engergy.

If exercise could be bottled, it would be a best-selling potion at the local pharmacy.
