Most of us know that regular physical activity has a wealth of benefits, yet most of us are inactive. Our hectic life style has left most of us with little time for exercise leading to overweight.
We're less active - but still eating about the same amount as 20 years ago - so the excess calories are stored as fat. Having an active lifestyle can improve your overall health and help prevent disease. What's more, combined with healthy eating, regular physical activity is the best way to lose and maintain a healthy weight.
Why get active?
Being active helps you:
- Live longer and more healthily
- Improve your mood and helps relieve stress and depression
- Feel good about yourself
- Lose weight and improve body shape
- Maintain your weight loss
But if you have not been active, don't just go out and run a half marathon like some crazy fellow here, you may die of heart attack. Always consult your doctor before you decide to get active, make sure that you get a clear bill of health from your doctor as he will give you the best advise.
