Exercise fundamentally changes every system and function in your body. The older you get, the more important it is – and the more pronounced the benefits. For athletes, natural health can bring your athletic performance to a whole new level, but for a person in their 80’s, exercise can literally increase muscle strength by as much as 300% in a matter of just a few weeks. Fitness and exercise impact almost every aspect of health. Exercise can:
- Reduce the risk of premature death
- Reduce the risk of heart disease
- Reduce the risks of many cancers, including colon and breast cancer
- Reduce the risk of developing diabetes
- Build and maintain healthy muscles, bones, and joints
- Reduce depression, stress and anxiety
- Enhance performance in work and sport
Below is a list of resources concerning types of exercise Jon Barron recommends as well as specific health supplements to help your body repair and build — important for both the fitness beginner to the competitive athlete.
