I am sure that you have heard from many sources that exercise is good for you. Well there must be something to that statement.
We have gone from a hunter gatherer society, always in motion to a modernised society of sedentary, poorly postured people developing chronic disease at an alarming rate! The good news is, life does not have to be that way.
I saw a Facebook post last week and it said that ‘Obesity runs in the family. The problem was that no one runs in the family.’ The more people I see, the more this can ring true. The solution is simple – exercise. Just 15 minutes a day, EVERY DAY. (For those who are time poor, really want to push themselves, and need some ideas check out this great site 12minuteathlete.com)
That short period of 15 minutes of moderate exercise can help in many ways. it can lower your blood pressure, decrease your cholesterol, decrease your blood sugars… and this is without relying upon medication. Exercise can even slow down the typical ageing process. The catch – by not exercising regularly you are actually accelerating the ageing process and increasing your risk of chronic lifestyle disease.
