But more evidence is pointing to the fact that any regular exercise boosts longevity and well-being. In fact, another recent study of 22,000 male physicians showed that more frequent, rather than longer, exercise sessions lower the risk of heart attack and death from heart disease. While it's true that vigorous exercise is certainly beneficial, less energetic activity done more often is just as good. Maybe the pros know a thing or two. But take a little advice from the people who have proved the benefits of lifelong activity.
Exercise can help prevent leading killers such as stroke or heart disease.
And it can help prevent certain forms of cancer, especially breast and colon cancer. Do a little physical activity every day. Walk to do your errands. You'll get the exercise and feel like you accomplished something. It can be strolling, gardening, dancing.
