Movement is Important to Everyone

Staying Active Matters

Activity can keep you healthy longer because it can:

• Promote bone, muscle and joint health.

• Reduce your risk of diabetes, colon cancer, osteoporosis and heart disease.

• Reduce your blood pressure and stress.  Reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.

• Manage chronic diabetes and arthritis by improving stamina and muscle strength and by reducing joint swelling and pain.

• Improve balance, reducing the risk of serious falls.
