Movement

Why Does Being Active Matter So Much?

We are often told to be active everyday and to maintain activity as we age. Improving our levels of physical activity leads to mental and physical health benefits such as:
  • maintaining mobility
  • improved sleep
  • reduced risk of falls
  • increased bone density and thus reduced risk of broken bones
  • easier weight management
  • managing mood
  • aiding social connection
  • protecting heart health
  • improved blood sugar and cholesterol control
