My clients understand that regular physical activity and exercise are associated with numerous physical and mental health benefits in men and women. All-causes of mortality is delayed by regularly engaging in physical  activity; this is also the case when an individual increases physical activity by changing from a sedentary lifestyle or a lifestyle with insufficient levels of physical activity to one that achieves recommended physical activity levels. Exercise and physical activity decrease the risk of developing CHD, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and some forms of cancer for (e.g. colon and breast cancers).

 

Exercise and physical activity lower blood pressure; improve lipoprotein profile, C-reactive protein, and other CHD biomarkers; enhance insulin sensitivity, and play an important role in weight management.
