Imagine a medicine, a wonder drug, that could prevent disease by up to 80%. Does a miracle drug like that exist?

Research proves that it does and exercise has proven to be that medicine.

It gives strength to the weak, health to the sick and youthfulness to older citizens. It’s a fact, exercise is the most potent medicine known to mankind. Movement helps to improve the functioning of your heart and lungs. It stimulates the creation of new red blood cells that are used to carry oxygen throughout your body, promotes the growth of new muscle tissue and makes your bones stronger.

All that is needed is the right dose at the right time to benefit from the world’s most effective medicine. It has real, measurable and lasting positive effects on nearly every health issue. It prevents 80% of diseases, including reversing type 2 diabetes and combats cancer.  It improves depression, boosts energy, enhances sleep quality, battles osteoarthritis, erectile dysfunction and even PMS symptoms. In fact, there are documented benefits for almost every organ in the body.

On the other hand, the consequences of a sedentary life are also documented and they are not pretty. Those who lead an inactive lifestyle are at a higher risk for many different kinds of cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s disease and even premature death. Inactivity compounds arthritis symptoms, increases lower-back pain, increases anxiety and leads to depression.

Exercise is so powerful that the list of potential positive side effects reads like this:

Improves blood sugar regulation

Promotes healthy weight-loss

Lowers blood pressure and cholesterol

Improves mood

Strengthens muscles and builds thicker bones

Promotes better circulation

Increased flexibility and better coordination.

All these benefits are readily available to everyone, yet millions of people continue to suffer and die from a ridiculous number of self-inflicted health issues – some major, some minor (that could become major) just because they lack basic strength and fitness.

Bottom line is this:

Research and ongoing studies reveal that the most effective and potent way we can improve the quality and duration of our lives is with exercise. Scientific benefits include: better moods, reduced chronic pain, better vision, healthier skin and slower aging (the list goes on and on) are all real, measurable and immediate. All the result of challenging exercise.

But your body is not the only thing that benefits from regular challenging exercise. Your brain benefits too. Better memory, quicker learning, sharper focus, clearer vision and clarity of mind and less depression are also experienced.

In the past, pregnant women and those with certain diseases were advised not to exercise. Times have changed and scientists now realize that most people can and should exercise, that vigorous exercise such as interval training and strength training is, in fact, great medicine for those with certain chronic conditions from Type 2 diabetes to heart failure.

It’s becoming quite obvious and evident that almost all people, young and old, pregnant, well or ill benefit from exercise.

The question now is:

Are you exercising?

If you have not already addressed the roles that exercise and diet/nutrition play in your health and longevity, it’s time you did.

“Activate The Self Healing Process Within You” is the “instruction manual” for making it happen.

It contains “simple Lifestyle Strategies to help resist aging and maintain superior health.” You’ll learn the best techniques for preparing your body to defend itself against disease no matter how insidious the threat.

The information when implemented as suggested, will be life changing and you will enjoy greater health like never before.
