Regular exercise improves cardiovascular health.
Physical activity has been shown to protect against colon cancer, it may also prevent osteoporosis by building stronger bones and reduce the risk of hip fractures. Exercise may also improve sleep, and lessen anxiety and depression. You can reap huge benefits by exercising as little as 30 minutes 3 times per week. You need not be a skilled athlete. Even 10 minutes per day is a good start.
