\u201cThe single thing that comes close to a magic bullet, in terms of its strong and universal benefits, is exercise,\u201d Frank Hu, epidemiologist at the Harvard School of Public Health, said in the Harvard Magazine.<\/p>\n

I have written often about the protective roles of exercise. It can lower the risk of heart attack<\/a>, stroke<\/a>, hypertension<\/a>, diabetes, obesity<\/a>, depression<\/a>, dementia<\/a>, osteoporosis<\/a>, gallstones<\/a>, diverticulitis<\/a>, falls, erectile dysfunction<\/a>, peripheral vascular disease<\/a> and 12 kinds of cancer<\/a>. <\/p>\n

But what if you already have one of these conditions? Or an ailment like rheumatoid arthritis<\/a>, multiple sclerosis<\/a>, Parkinson\u2019s disease<\/a>, congestive heart failure<\/a> or osteoarthritis<\/a>? How can you exercise if you\u2019re always tired or in pain or have trouble breathing? Can exercise really help?<\/p>\n

You bet it can. …<\/p>\n

\u201cThe data show that regular moderate exercise increases your ability to battle the effects of disease,\u201d Dr. Moffat said in an interview. \u201cIt has a positive effect on both physical and mental well-being. The goal is to do as much physical activity<\/span><\/a> as your body lets you do, and rest when you need to rest.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
