Be Healthy, Be Active

FEEL BETTER, LOOK BETTER AND LIVE LONGER.

Physical activity need not be vigorous to improve health. Physical activity at a moderate level improves your mood and sense of well-being.

Everyday activities count.  

Brisk walking, gardening, dancing, even energetic vacuuming all add up to better health. You don't have to join a gym or take a class or buy expensive equipment. The key is to be consistent--be active 30 minutes a day, at least 10 minutes at a time, 5 days a week.

The benefits are remarkable.  

People who are active at a moderate level experience a long list of health benefits. Physical activity reduces the risk of developing heart disease, colon cancer, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes.
