Why Staying Active Works:
1.Keeps Muscles Strong:
Exercise maintains muscle strength, which helps with walking, standing, and daily activities. This prevents weakness, falls, and injuries.
2.Protects the Heart:
Movement like walking improves blood flow, lowers blood pressure, and keeps the heart healthy. This reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke.
3.Keeps Bones Healthy:
Weight-bearing activities (like walking or lunges) help prevent bone loss (osteoporosis) and keep bones strong.
4.Boosts Mental Health:
Exercise releases “happy hormones” (endorphins) that improve mood and reduce anxiety, depression, and cognitive decline.
5.Prevents Disease:
Active people have lower risks of diabetes, cancer, and other age related diseases.
