Being More Active Part 1

Put physical activity high on your “to-do” list.

• Three 10-minute blocks of moderate activity during the day can do you as much good as 30 minutes of activity all at once.
• People who spend at least 30 minutes a day being active enough to breathe a little harder are less likely to have:

•  Heart attacks
• Weight problems
• Cancer
• High blood pressure
• Diabetes
• Brittle bones (osteoporosis)
• Tell your family and friends that being active is important to you—ask them to help you make time.

Being active is the answer.

• For people with most health conditions, being physically active usually does the body more good than harm.
• Wear comfortable shoes and drink plenty of water when you are physically active.
