Whatever Your Age, Regular Physical Activity Helps You Stay Healthy!
For all of us, young and old, regular physical activity is the most important strategy for staying healthy!
- Compared to being sedentary, moderate-intensity physical activity is associated with better immune function.
- Likewise, regular physical activity is associated with lower levels of anxiety and perceived stress (which many of us are feeling in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic).
The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans recommend 150-300 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic physical activity and 2 sessions per week of muscle strength training.
