    Being physically active lowers your risk for two types of cancer: colon and breast. Research shows that:
    • Physically active people have a lower risk of colon cancer than do people who are not active;
    • Physically active women have a lower risk of breast cancer than do people who are not active;
    • Some findings suggest that your risk of endometrial cancer and lung cancer may be lower if you get regular physical activity compared to people who are not active.

    If you are a cancer survivor, research shows that getting regular physical activity not only helps give you a better quality of life, but also improves your physical fitness.
    As you age, it's important to protect your bones, joints and muscles. Not only do they support your body and help you move, but keeping bones, joints and muscles healthy can help ensure that you're able to do your daily activities and be physically active. Research shows that doing aerobic, musclestrengthening and bonestrengthening physical activity of at least a moderatelyintense level can slow the loss of bone density that comes with age.

    If you have arthritis, research shows that doing 130 to 150 (2 hours and 10 minutes to 2 hours and 30 minutes) a week of moderateintensity, lowimpact aerobic activity can not only improve your ability to manage pain and do everyday tasks, but it can also make your quality of life better.
    Muscle-strengthening activities can help you increase or maintain your muscle mass and strength. Slowly increasing the amount of weight and number of repetitions you do will give you even more benefits, no matter your age. If you're a physically active middleaged or older adult, you have a lower risk of functional limitations than people who are inactive. Aerobic and musclestrengthening activities can help improve your ability to do the everyday activities, such as climbing stairs, grocery shopping, or playing with your grandchildren.

    Regular physical activity can help keep your thinking, learning, and judgment skills sharp as you age. It can also reduce your risk of depression and may help you sleep better. Research has shown that doing aerobic or a mix of aerobic and musclestrengthening activities 3 to 5 times a week for 30 to 60 minutes can give you these mental health benefits.

THE BENEFITS OF PHYSICAL ACTIVITY

Regular physical activity is one of the most important things you can do for your health. If you're not sure about becoming active or boosting your level of physical activity because you're afraid of getting hurt, the good news is that moderateintensity aerobic activity, like brisk walking, is generally safe for most people.

Both diet and physical activity play a critical role in controlling your weight. You gain weight when the calories you burn, including those burned during physical activity, are less than the calories you eat or drink. When it comes to weight management, people vary greatly in how much physical activity they need. You may need to be more active than others to achieve or maintain a healthy weight.

Work your way up to 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity, or an equivalent mix of the two each week. Strong scientific evidence shows that physical activity can help you maintain your weight over time. However, the exact amount of physical activity needed to do this is not clear since it varies greatly from person to person. It's possible that you may need to do more than the equivalent of 150 minutes of moderateintensity activity a week to maintain your weight.

You will need a high amount of physical activity unless you also adjust your diet and reduce the amount of calories you're eating and drinking. Getting to and staying at a healthy weight requires both regular physical activity and a healthy eating plan.

Heart disease and stroke are two of the leading causes of death in the United States. But following the Guidelines and getting at least 150 minutes a week (2 hours and 30 minutes) of moderate intensity aerobic activity can put you at a lower risk for these diseases. You can reduce your risk even further with more physical activity. Regular physical activity can also lower your blood pressure and improve your cholesterol levels.

Regular physical activity can reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is a condition in which you have some combination of too much fat around the waist, high blood pressure, low HDL cholesterol, high triglycerides, or high blood sugar. Research shows that lower rates of these conditions are seen with 120 to 150 minutes (2 hours to 2 hours and 30 minutes) a week of at least moderateintensity aerobic activity. And the more physical activity you do, the lower your risk will be.

Regular physical activity can help control your blood glucose levels.
