Health (Physical Activity)

We have been told that physical activity is important when we have fatigue and pain for reasons such as the following:

Maintain weight.
Reduce high blood pressure.
Reduce risk for type 2 diabetes, heart attack, stroke, and several forms of cancer.
Reduce arthritis pain and associated disability.
Reduce risk for osteoporosis and falls.
Reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.

However, it can be a challenge to find the best ways to remain active if we are experiencing pain. In the near future, I will provide some links to help us stay active and minimize our pain.
