The article notes that as you age, the human body faces an increase in frailty. This is evident in the fact that according to the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) more than 300,000 Americans that are ages 65 or older are hospitalized every year for hip fractures. It is also notable that Osteoporosis: a disease characterized by porous weakened

Many scientists have done studies and found that doing even just thirty minutes of physical activity can help combat these diseases. The question is, how does physical activity help lower the risk of getting diseases? To answer that, I’ll show how physical activity helps boosts a person's immune system, helps maintain a healthy weight, and

In today’s times though, the CDC declared that it is an actual cause of chronic disease and is the second leading cause of death in the U.S., at 12.5%. What is startling and well-known, is that many chronic diseases such as type II diabetes, heart disease, and certain cancers can be prevented with exercise, yet so

There are many short and long-term benefits that are accrued by a youth from the regular exercise regimen. As written by (Muth, 2015), the individual improves his Intellectual Quotient, brainpower, thinking, immune system, sleep patterns, moods, motor performance skills and energy levels. The child also reduces the risk of diabetes, obesity, and osteoporosis. Exercises also
