Why Are Staying Active and Eating Well So Important?

Because the results are amazing:

A HEALTHY HEART

Regular physical activity and a healthy diet can lower your blood pressure and cholesterol levels and can reduce the risk of illnesses such as type 2 diabetes or heart disease.

STRONG BONES

Exercise, combined with fat-free or low-fat dairy products and other foods rich in calcium, is necessary to build strong, healthy bones and can help slow the bone loss associated with getting older.

A SENSE OF WELL-BEING

Being in good shape can give you more energy, reduce anxiety and depression, improve self-esteem, and help you better manage stress.

A GOOD SOCIAL LIFE

Staying active is a great way to have fun, make new friends, and spend quality time with family.

LOOKING AND FEELING BETTER

You look better when you’re in shape and eating right. Staying active helps you tone muscles and improve your posture. Both moving more and eating healthy are important to maintaining a healthy weight.
