The \fayo Clinic says regular exercise has many important

benefits. Exercise fights feelings ofsadness by producing
chemicals in the body that help us feel happier and more re-
lared. It gives us more energy too. Chronic fatigue (feeling
::¡ed all the time) is one of the fastest growing illnesses today.
R.eeular exercise can help prevent this, or help to improve the
,rituation when the problem already exists. Exercise also helps
us f'all asleep faster and have a deeper, better sleep. However,
exercising late is a bad idea. This can actually cause sleep
problems. As little as 30 minutes exercise every day can re-
duce the risk ofissues such as heafi disease and diabetes con-
siderably. And the good news is it's never too late to start
exercising. According to a British stud¡ people who starl to
exercise later in life are still th¡ee times as likely to be healthy
in old age as those who never exercise.
