Chronic Disease and Exercise
Chronic diseases and conditions are among the most common, costly, and preventable of all health problems (CDC,
2016).
Participants of a major clinical trial group exercised by walking an average of 30 minutes a day, 5 days a week, and lowered their intake of fat and calories.
This resulted in a sustained weight loss of about 10-15 lbs, reducing their risk of getting diabetes by 58%.

Exercise Has a Direct Impact on Brain Functioning
“The best single thing anyone can do for his or her brain is to be as active as possible,” says William Satariano, Ph.D., who leads a study at the Berkeley PRC on how walking contributes to
health. “You don’t have to run a marathon. Whatever you can do is good.”

Physical activity is associated with longer life expectancy, even at relatively low levels of activity and regardless of body weight (National Cancer Institute).
National Institute of Health finds that leisure-time physical extends life expectancy as much as 4.5 years.
