Do you exercise regularly? If your answer is yes, you're on the right path to healthy living. If no, you might want to reconsider your options, regardless of your lifestyle or whether your occupation is of physical nature or not.

If you want to live a healthy and fulfilling life into old age, you have to consider taking exercising more seriously. The health benefits of regular exercise and physical activity are hard to ignore. Everyone benefits from exercise, regardless of age, sex or physical ability.

According to research stats obtained from http://www.nhs.uk/, it's medically proven that people who do regular physical activity have:

35% lower risk of coronary heart disease and stroke
50% lower risk of type 2 diabetes
50% lower risk of colon cancer
20% lower risk of breast cancer
83% lower risk of osteoarthritis
30% lower risk of depression
30% lower risk of dementia
30% lower risk of early death
30% lower risk of falls (among older adults)
68% lower risk of hip fracture

To stay healthy, adults should try to be active daily and aim to achieve at least 2 hours, 30 minutes of physical activity over a week through a variety of activities. Do you need to register in a gym to start exercising? The answer is no. For most people, the easiest way to start exercising is to make physical activity part of everyday life; like brisk walking instead of driving around everywhere. However, the more exercise you're involved in, the better.

Engaging in sporting activities for fun such as swimming, jogging, and playing tennis will make you even healthier, just make sure you don't over-exert yourself. Keep fit, keep healthy and keep enjoying the benefits of good health.
