The Benefits of Physical Activity

Friday, October 2, 2009
Routine physical activity is health-promoting for all people. Every day, scientists discover more and more about the health benefits of physical activity. Regular physical activity provides benefits in health and well-being for the vast majority of people who are not physically active.

Most studies show that dietary restriction plus exercise produces more initial weight loss than diet alone. Any form of physical activity that increases energy expenditure is likely to have benefits for weight loss. Physical activity benefits your health even if you don't lose weight. Lifestyle activities such as gardening, vacuuming, walking, and choosing stairs over the elevator can result in health-related improvements if performed consistently over time.
