living
Regular physical activity is important to our well-being. Staying physically active helps us to remain strong and flexible and able to carry out everyday tasks. It plays a role in preventing illness, alleviating symptoms related to chronic health problems, improving our mood, and reducing stress. Also, it helps to reduce the risk of falling.
Physical activity is for everyone at any age and ability, even frail older adults. And, it's never too late to get active or to start being active again.
