May is designated as National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, which means we’ll be hearing a lot about the importance of physical exercise. Health & Human Services secretary Kathleen Sebelius wanted to be one of the first to send the message, which does in a statement released today.
“An active lifestyle, combined with healthy eating, is the number one way to prevent obesity and key to preventing a host of serious obesity-related diseases, including high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and asthma.” [Source: Medical News Today]
In addition, physical activity can increase your energy level, improve your concentration, and reduce stress. The whole family can mark National Physical Fitness and Sports Month by starting or re-starting regular physical activities. Even something simple, like a walk after dinner, can make a big difference!
