While medicines treat illnesses, fitness prevents them. Regular exercise is one of the most powerful tools we have to stay healthy and avoid chronic diseases.
- Exercise as Preventive Medicine
- Lowers risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and obesity.
- Strengthens immunity to fight infections.
- Mental Health Benefits
- Releases endorphins that reduce anxiety and depression.
- Improves memory and focus.
- Longevity & Aging
- Active people age more gracefully with stronger bones and muscles.
- Reduces risk of falls and fractures in older adults.
- Fitness vs. Medicine Costs
- Exercise is free (walking, jogging, home workouts).
- Prevents costly long-term medical bills.
Exercise is the cheapest, safest, and most effective “medicine” available. Prevention will always be better than cure — and fitness is the first step. 🏃♀️
