Well, given my family history, this pretty much hits ALL of my high-risk medical conditions. I guess I really need to keep serious about this exercise thing. Exercise can help prevent chronic diseases as well as help maintain independent and healthy living. The list of medical conditions improved by exercise includes: • Hypertension: reduces risk by up to 40% • Heart disease: reduces risk by up to 40% • Stroke: reduces risk by up to 27% • Cancer: reduces risk of colon cancer by up to 60%, reduces mortality due to and recurrence of breast cancer by up to 50% • Diabetes: reduces risk by up to 58% • Alzheimer’s disease: reduces risk by up to 40% • Dementia: prevents dementia by up to 80% • Peripheral artery disease: improves calf tissue oxygenation, so you can walk 50% further • Exercise also improves high cholesterol, arthritis, respiratory illness, depression and anxiety
