As well as improving your health
in many ways, increasing your activity levels can reduce the
risk of a developing a number of conditions too.
Many of our members have shared with us the health benefits
they've experienced, including Phil Green who lost 14½
stones, reduced his blood pressure significantly and now walks
for miles without a hint of breathlessness!
The members you'll read about have
all lost weight. However many health benefits occur independent
of any loss of weight - being active is the key. There's also
plenty of evidence that even if you are overweight, if you
are fit you are at less risk of ill health than someone who
is slim but unfit.
So what benefits could you experience? Regular
moderate activity can...
Improve heart health and help
protect against developing heart disease
Evidence suggests activity can decrease the chances of serious
illness from heart disease by half. It strengthens the heart,
increasing its pumping power and improves circulation. It
also helps lower high blood pressure and alleviate unhealthy
blood fats, such as high cholesterol levels, which are risk
factors for heart disease.
Help reduce the risk of stroke
Being active and losing weight has beneficial effects
on blood pressure and blood clotting and can improve circulation,
leading to a decrease in the risk of a stroke.
