It’s World Obesity Day (4 March), and here at SHARE we know the benefit so of physical activity are enormous – both physically & mentally!
Research shows by remaining active as you age reduces blood pressure and a decrease in the risk of developing hypertension, type 2 diabetes, stroke and heart attacks. Research also shows that regular physical activity can significantly reduce the risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as improve your mental health due to the release of the feel-good hormones – endorphins.
By being inactive you are at increased risk of cancer, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes by 20–30%, and shortens lifespan by three-five years.
