Physical activity need not be vigorous
to improve health, according to the latest Surgeon General's Report.
Physical activity at a moderate level improves your mood and sense
of well-being. It gives you more energy and helps control weight.
It improves balance and bone and muscle strength, preventing falls
and fractures. It helps you live longer independently.
