The message is clear - regular, moderate physical exercise is good for your body, mind, and spirit. Moderate exercise reduces your risk of heart disease, can lower your blood pressure, raises the "good" HDL cholesterol, helps control weight, and reduces the risk of developing other chronic illness (diabetes, cancer). Exercise can also be a good stress reducer."
