Why keeping active is important

Whatever your age, there is strong evidence that being physically active can help you lead a healthier and happier life.

Exercising regularly helps people:

  • Lower their risk of developing many long-term conditions, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke and some cancers
  • Boost self-esteem, mood, sleep quality and energy
  • Reduce their risk of stress, depression, dementia and other long term conditions

Keeping active regularly is essential if you want to live a healthy and fulfilling life into old age.
