Let’s counteract this statistic by increasing physical activity. When you move, you improve your mental health, physical health and your longevity at the same time. Healthy eating habits and physical activity provide a range of benefits including:
  • Disease prevention
  • Better sleep
  • Increased energy
  • Mental health benefits
  • Stronger immune system
  • Better brain function
  • Healthier heart
  • Increased productivity
  • Increased happiness
  • Less sick days
  • Better overall performance
