Spring into Action!

Physical activity is essential to prevent and reduce risks of many diseases and improve physical and mental health. It can even help you live longer—research from the American Journal of Preventative Medicine indicates that regular exercise can add up to five years to your life.

On the other hand, lack of physical activity is associated with increased risks of:

  • Anxiety, stress, and feelings of depression

  • Developing many preventable conditions, such as high blood pressure, coronary heart diseases, diabetes, osteoporosis, colon cancer, and obesity

  • Dying prematurely
