Physical Activity
Studies show that regular physical activity reduces the risk for depression, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, stroke, and certain kinds of cancer. Yet, only 1 in 5 adults meet the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans 
and less than 3 in 10 high school students get at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day (CDC) .
