Staying Active

Research shows that regular exercise can improve your general health and quality of life. Exercise can help:

• Keep joints working
• Keep muscles, including your heart, strong
• Improve your circulation
• Help you to breathe properly
• Improve digestion and sleep

Talk to your healthcare team about exercise that will help keep you healthy. Here are some ideas to get you started:

• Try to take a gentle 15-minute walk every day
• Try yoga
• Take the stairs instead of the elevator
• Walk, don’t ride—get off of the bus or train a stop or two early and walk the rest of the way
• Play golf
