Exercising regularly, every day if possible, is the most important thing you can do for your health. In the short term, exercise helps control appetite, improve mood, and improve sleep. In the long term, it reduces the risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, dementia, depression, and many types of cancer. Whether you’ve ever been much more physically active or have never exercised regularly, now is a great time to start an exercise and fitness regimen. Getting and staying fit is just as important for older people as it is for younger people.
