1. Why is physical activity important?
Physically Active
Studies show that people who stay physically active enjoy a higher quality of life overall than those with sedentary lifestyles.
Reap numerous benefits that include:
Stronger ability to stave off illnesses such as diabetes
Quicker recovery from illnesses, injuries, and surgeries—and a more positive outlook during recovery
Reduced risk of many cancers, including breast and colon cancer
Improved overall cardiovascular health due to increased strength and resiliency in the heart muscle, arteries, and blood vessels
Higher levels of high-density lipoproteins ("good cholesterol")
More efficient metabolism
Improved mental ability. Studies suggest that people who start exercising in their 60s can significantly reduce the risk of developing Alzheimer's in their 70s; the risk drops even further if they start exercising in their 40s or 50s.
