Participating in regular exercise that benefits health is one of the most important and effective lifestyle changes a person can make. The good news is that there is not a particular exercise one must do to improve one’s health. Any aerobic exercise — one that makes the heart beat faster — will do as long as it’s done at moderate or vigorous intensity for a minimum of 10 minutes at a time. But any exercise is better than none.
Exercise is just one part of the picture for a healthy lifestyle. Eat a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lowfat proteins and whole grains. Do not smoke, and drink in moderation. Maintain a healthy weight. Keep up with screenings and maintain a relationship with your doctor.
