A Canadian study found that 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week can add up to five years to a person’s life span. Incorporating exercise into daily life has been linked to a healthy diet and overall lifestyle. Doctors pointed out that those who exercise use fewer medications and are less likely to have anxiety disorders. Even if people start exercise later in life, it is proven to still provide extreme benefits to the person and is better than a sedentary lifestyle.
Doctors also said that exercise is medicine and can reduce health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure and obesity because exercise controls blood glucose levels. For those who have those problems, it is important to consult with a doctor before engaging in exercise to have glucose levels monitored.
