Exercise and Aging

Overview

Exercise is essential to healthy aging. Regular physical activity can help to prevent age-related decline in physical, cognitive, and mental health. Exercising can reduce the risk of developing chronic diseases and disabilities, which can be a major problem for older adults. Additionally, exercise can improve balance and coordination, reduce inflammation, and boost energy levels. Exercise can also help to improve mood, reduce stress, and promote a sense of wellbeing. Thus, exercise can help maintain functional independence and quality of life as we age.
