Stay Fit to Prevent Disease

As we age, some wonderful things happen: We become wiser and more confident, and learn to appreciate life and good health in deeper ways. Unfortunately, our bodies don’t always embrace age quite as well as we’d like! You may notice some changes in your body. These changes occur based on your hormones, and I’m not talking about the kind of visible changes that happen at puberty. The biggest change is where you carry your weight and how your body metabolizes the food you eat.
A woman’s body goes through many changes in her 20s, 30s and 40s. Childbirth, health problems and stress can take a huge toll on your physique, but managing weight and staying rejuvenated are critical to long-term wellness. Letting your health decline can lead to life-threatening diseases such as diabetes, breast cancer and strokes; that’s why you should focus on prevention. One Canadian study shows that regular physical activity can help prevent several chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, hypertension, obesity, depression, and osteoporosis. So remember to squeeze in three 30-minute sessions of cardio a week – it’ll help ensure you live a long, healthy, happy life.
