If you were active before turning 50, that's fantastic. But if you weren't, it's never too late to start. Exercise can help reduce menopause symptoms like hot flashes, joint pain, and sleep issues. It also reduces the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis while aiding in weight control and reducing belly fat. The benefits of exercise are so significant that it positively impacts every system in your body. Many aging problems are linked to inactivity. Even if you're 55, you can feel biologically younger with regular exercise. Before starting, consult your doctor, especially if you have heart disease risks like smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, or a family history. Once cleared, start moving. A balanced fitness program should include various types of exercises. Every bit of movement counts, so if you're too busy for a regular workout, find other ways to stay active. Research shows that all those extra steps during the day add up to significant health benefits. Try to find a sport or activity you enjoy to stay committed.
