Good morning everyone! Some of you may not know this, but May is National Physical Fitness and Sports month. People of all ages can benefit from regular physical activity and what a better time to start then this month.
Here are just a few benefits of becoming physically active:
Children and Adolescents - physical activity can improve muscular fitness and bone and heart health
Adults - physical activity can lower risk for heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some types of cancers
Older adults - physical activity can lower the risk of falls and improve cognitive function (learning and judgement skills)
So I encourage you all to make a small change that can benefit everyone in your family. This small change is to take the family out for a walk tonight around the neighborhood after dinner. I will be doing this tonight with my daughter. It's a great way to spend time with the family, talk about how each others day was and to be active in the process. Have a great day everyone! :)
