In addition to eating high quality foods, physical activity can help you reach and maintain a healthy weight.
Getting regular physical activity is one of the best things you can do for your health. It lowers the risk of heart diseases, diabetes, stroke, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, and certain cancers. It can also help control stress, improves sleep, boost mood, keep weight in check.
A 30 minutes brisk walk on five days of the week is all most people need. Getting any amount of exercise is better than none.
The precise amount of exercise needed to achieve or maintain a healthy weight varies based on persons's diet and genes. The American College of Sports Medicine and the American Heart Association support the idea that "more activity increases the probability of success."
Among the nearly 3,700 men and women who are part of the National Weight Control Registry, a group that includes only people who lost more than 30 pounds and kept them off for at least a year, the average participant burns an average of about 400 calories per day in physical activity.
That's the equivalent of about 60 to 75 minutes of brisk walking each day, or 35 to 40 minutes of daily jogging. But there's quite a bit of variation from participant to participant- some require more physical activity to keep the weight off, some require less.
Be Active... Be Happy...Keep Smiling😄
