Exercising about 30 minutes a day can provide enormous benefits to your mood, health, weight and the ability to live an independent and fulfilling life. Exercise need not be difficult or altheltic - simply brisk walking 30 minutes or more can lead to significant health improvements.
Some of the benefits of daily 30 minute exercise include:
- Increase bone density and protect against bone mass decline
- Strengthen the immune system, improve circulation, reduce body fat and speed digestion.
- Reduce stress, improve mild-to-moderate depression and anxiety, improve sleep and boost moods.
- Increase energy and stamina
And coupling exercise with a healthy diet is the best way to shed fat and maintain a healthier body composition.
