Diabetes affects more than 1 in 10 adults over 50. Left uncontrolled, it can cause serious complications—but the good news is that early detection, lifestyle changes, and exercise can make a huge difference. Learn what diabetes is, why it matters, and how you can take steps to manage it.
Research consistently shows that staying active doesn’t just improve fitness; it significantly reduces the risk of illness and enhances overall well-being. Regular exercise can lower your risk of:
✅ Cardiovascular disease by up to 35%
✅ Type 2diabetes by up to 40%
✅ Hip fractures by up to 70%
✅ Depression by up to 30%
✅ Dementia by up to 30%
✅ Certain cancers (including colon and breast) by up to 30%
Beyond prevention, exercise is also a powerful treatment for both physical and mental health conditions. It boosts mood, strengthens the body, and enhances confidence—proving time and again that movement is medicine.
