By adopting a more active lifestyle, you can reap the following benefits according to the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps E-Bulletin by LCDR Scott Labrecque:
· Control weight
· Reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke
· Reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome
· Reduce your risk of some cancers
· Strengthen bones and muscles
· Improve mental health and mood
· Increase chances of living longer
