Physical activity, combined with a healthy balanced diet, is one of the keys to good health. Small changes have positive benefits, just doing 30 minutes of physical activity each day has a bundle of healthy rewards, for example: It helps to make you feel more energetic than if you were sitting around not doing much It helps you sleep better It helps to improve your circulation and help lower your blood pressure It helps to strengthen your muscles and bones And remember it only takes small changes and it is never too late to get started. “My family and I always try to enjoy an active lifestyle - doing just 30 minutes of physical activity every day can help keep you fit and burn off the calories. Also combining this with a healthy balanced diet is vital, but it’s o.k. to have a few snacks along the way, my personal opinion is everything in moderation! Not only does it help keep you healthy and fit - it has other benefits too - It is fun and can be a great way to make new friends If you have had a bad day physical activity can help you feel better and relieve the stress You can set yourself a goal to reach and when you do reach it it always gives you a buzz Not to mention the sense of achievement you get as you watch yourself feeling and looking better and healthier Remember exercise is not all about going to the gym. You can keep yourself active each day a whole number of different ways - by taking a walk with your family, going for a bike ride, playing football with your mates or even just playing a round of golf - definitely my preferred choice of exercise!”
