Experts in health encourage us to include exercise as part of our daily routine to stay healthy. Just like a healthy diet and balanced exercise is recommended for optimum health.
People who are usually inactive can improve their health and well-being by becoming active on a regular basis.
Physical activity does not need to be intense to be beneficial to health.
Discover the many benefits for your health by increasing the amount (duration, frequency or intensity) of physical activity. There are many benefits to exercise, not only for losing weight, but also to reduce the risk of developing serious illnesses.
Here is a general overview of what exercise can do for us:
1. Exercise reduces the risk of dying prematurely.
2. Exercise reduces the risk of dying of heart disease, cancer, diabetes and arthritis.
3. Exercise helps to lose weight by reducing our body mass index (BMI), reducing our cholesterol and triglyceride levels that circulate in our blood.

Physical activity, needed for healthy bones
Drink plenty of milk or taking calcium supplements does not strengthen bones. We must also move, says Guy Thibault, a researcher at the Ministry of Education, Recreation and Sport (MELS).
This is the only way to reduce the risk of fracture, particularly spine and hips, says co-author of an opinion of the Scientific Committee Kino-Québec on the subject to be published shortly.
Bone health is therefore a major challenge, says the researcher. “As we age, our bones naturally become more brittle and fragile, says he. And this is especially for seniors who have a lifestyle more sedentary there are more fractures. ”
The hip fractures are a serious problem. It is estimated that women at increased risk of hip fracture (one in six) than to be suffering from breast cancer (one in nine).
But beyond the comparison, hip fractures are particularly debilitating. One in two women lost their autonomy, while one in five requires extended care or permanent, says Guy Thibaut.
The fracture causes complications that may even be fatal: one in five women and two men in five die within the year following a hip fracture.
