This one-two punch keeps your blood flowing smoothly, which decreases your risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Regular exercise helps prevent or manage a wide range of health problems and concerns, including stroke, metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, depression, a number of types of cancer, arthritis and falls.

4. Exercise boosts energy Regular physical activity can improve your muscle strength and boost your endurance.Exercise delivers oxygen and nutrients to your tissues and helps your cardiovascular system work more efficiently.
