Most chronic diseases and risk factors for diseases are associated with physical inactivity. Regular exercise, in addition to diet change and medicine is suggested to lessen symptoms and improve the wellbeing of individuals with chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular heart disease, cancer, arthritis, osteoporosis and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Apart from diet modification, physical exercise greatly reduces the risk of almost all chronic diseases simultaneously. Studies have proven that chronic diseases are not so prevalent in societies where physical work is a regular part of life.
Daily aerobic exercise
Physical exercise and activity promotes health and wellbeing. Recommendation for healthy adults from 18 to 65 years is 30 minutes of moderate exercise, primarily aerobic, five days a week as an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Steady and rhythmic exercise like walking, running, jogging, swimming, cycling and dancing are forms of aerobic exercise.
