Understanding Physical Activity<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Physical activity is key to improving health. Being physically active reduces the risk of diseases such as <\/em>diabetes<\/em><\/a>, heart and blood vessel diseases, and obesity.<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Benefits of Physical Activity<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Regular physical activity is one of the most important things you can do for your health.
If you\u2019re hesitant to start exercising or increase your physical activity because you\u2019re afraid of getting injured, the good news is that moderate-intensity aerobic activities, such as brisk walking, are generally safe for most people.
It's important to start slowly and gradually increase your activity level.

If you have a chronic health condition such as arthritis, diabetes, or heart disease, talk to your doctor to find out if it limits your ability to be active. Then, work with your doctor to develop a physical activity plan that suits your abilities. The important thing is to avoid being inactive.<\/p>\n\t\t

Managing Your Weight<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Want to achieve or maintain a healthy weight? Diet and physical activity both play an important role in weight management.
You gain weight when the calories you burn\u2014including those burned during physical activity\u2014are fewer than the calories you consume through food or drinks.
When it comes to weight management, physical activity needs vary greatly from person to person.
You may need to be more active than others to achieve or maintain a healthy weight.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

To maintain your weight<\/strong>
Gradually increase your activity level until you reach 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity, or an equivalent combination of both each week. Strong scientific evidence suggests that physical activity can help maintain a healthy weight over time. However, the exact amount of physical activity needed for this purpose is unclear because it varies greatly from person to person. You may need to engage in more than the equivalent of 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity per week to maintain your weight.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

To lose weight and maintain the results<\/strong>
You need a high level of physical activity, unless you also adjust your diet and reduce the number of calories from food and drinks. Achieving and maintaining a healthy weight requires regular physical activity and a healthy eating plan.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

Reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Coronary heart disease<\/u><\/strong><\/a> and stroke<\/u><\/strong><\/a> are the two leading causes of death worldwide.
However, following the guidelines and engaging in at least 150 minutes per week (2 hours and 30 minutes) of moderate-intensity aerobic activity can reduce the risk of these diseases.
You can further reduce your risk by getting more physical activity.
Regular physical activity can also lower blood pressure and improve cholesterol levels.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

Reducing the risk of certain types of cancer<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Physical activity reduces the risk of certain types of cancer. Research shows that:
\u2022 Physically active people have a lower risk of colorectal cancer than those who are inactive.
\u2022 Physically active women are at risk breast cancer<\/a> lower than that of inactive people.
By staying physically active, you reduce your risk of endometrial cancer and lung cancer<\/a>.
Although research has not yet reached a definitive conclusion, some findings suggest that the risk of endometrial cancer and lung cancer may be lower for people who exercise regularly compared to those who are inactive.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

Reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Regular physical activity can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is a condition in which you have a combination of the following factors:
\u2022 Too much fat around the waist
\u2022 high blood pressure<\/u><\/strong> <\/a>
\u2022 low HDL cholesterol
\u2022 high triglycerides
\u2022 high blood sugar.
Research shows that the incidence of this condition is lower among people who engage in 120 to 150 minutes (2 hours to 2 hours and 30 minutes) of at least moderate-intensity aerobic activity each week. The more physical activity a person engages in, the lower the risk.
If you are a cancer survivor, research shows that regular physical activity not only helps improve your quality of life but also enhances your physical fitness.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

Strengthens bones and muscles<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

As we age, it\u2019s important to protect our bones, joints, and muscles.
In addition to supporting your body and helping you move, maintaining the health of your bones, joints, and muscles can help ensure that you are able to perform daily activities and remain physically active.
Build strong, healthy muscles. Strength-training exercises can help increase or maintain muscle mass and strength. Gradually increasing the weight and number of repetitions will provide greater benefits, no matter your age.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

\n \t\t\t

Improving mental health and mood<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Regular physical activity can help maintain sharp thinking, learning, and judgment skills as you age.
This activity can also reduce the risk of depression and help you sleep better.
Research shows that engaging in aerobic exercise or a combination of aerobic exercise and strength training 3 to 5 times a week for 30 to 60 minutes can provide these mental health benefits.
Some scientific evidence also suggests that even lower levels of physical activity can be beneficial.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

Improving the ability to perform daily activities and preventing falls<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Functional limitations refer to the loss of the ability to perform daily activities, such as climbing stairs, shopping for household necessities, or playing with grandchildren.
How does this relate to physical activity? If you are a middle-aged or older adult who is physically active, your risk of functional limitations is lower than that of people who are inactive.
Have you been having trouble performing some of your daily activities? Aerobic exercise and strength training can help improve your ability to perform those activities.
Are you an older adult at risk of falling?
Research shows that doing balance and muscle-strengthening exercises each week, along with moderate-intensity aerobic activities such as brisk walking, can help reduce the risk of falls.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n

Increasing the chances of living longer<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t

Scientific evidence shows that physical activity can reduce the risk of premature death from leading causes of death, such as heart disease and certain types of cancer.
This is remarkable in two ways:
\u2022 Few lifestyle choices have as great an impact on health as physical activity. People who are physically active for about 7 hours a week have a 40 percent lower risk of premature death than those who are active for less than 30 minutes a week.

\u2022 You don\u2019t need to engage in a large amount of physical activity or high-intensity exercise to reduce your risk of premature death. You can lower your risk of premature death by engaging in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week.

Everyone can reap health benefits from physical activity, regardless of age, ethnicity, body shape, or size.<\/p>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n
