As the years go by our bodies begin to change and some of the essential functions of our body start diminishing. We can slow these changes and keep our bodies healthy if we choose to make healthier decisions by using the tools our body needs.
One of the most valuable tools we have for our body is physical exercise, which we should do some form of everyday! The World Health Organization recommends 150 minutes of physical exercise per week to keep fit and healthy, while also avoiding a sedentary lifestyle which could trigger chronic diseases in older adults.
The practice of daily physical exercise not only improves our physical capacity such as in strong muscles and good balance… the benefits go much further!
Daily physical exercise helps:
Regulate sleep
Prevent and control heart diseases
Improve our mood
