Regular physical activity is one of the most powerful tools for maintaining and improving health. Exercise benefits virtually every system in the body, from strengthening muscles and bones to improving cardiovascular health and boosting mental well-being.
The current recommendations suggest at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity activity per week, plus muscle-strengthening activities on two or more days. However, any amount of physical activity is better than none, and even small increases in activity can provide significant health benefits.
Exercise helps control weight, reduces the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease, improves mood and mental health, strengthens bones and muscles, and enhances cognitive function. Find activities you enjoy, whether it's walking, swimming, dancing, or playing sports, to make exercise a sustainable part of your lifestyle.
