Benefits of being physically active

Did you know that only thirty minutes of moderate physical activity on most days of the week can lead to considerable health benefits:

It can reduce your risk of heart disease or dying prematurely.
Physically active people are also less likely to develop high blood pressure, diabetes, colon cancer or osteoporosis.
Regular physical activity helps control weight and will help you to stay in shape.
When you are more physically active, you benefit from improved mental health and well being – it reduces stress, improves self-esteem and helps you fall asleep (and sleep well) at night.
Just by giving your metabolism a boost you can feel that you have more energy.

While 30 minutes of physical activity might initially sound like a lot, the good news is that as little as ten minutes of continuous physical activity, performed 3 times throughout the day, can have similar health benefits as 30 minutes performed all at once!
