Health Tip #:006

Exercise Regularly

Exercise is good for everyone. Check with your doctor before you start any exercise program. Your doctor may want to run some tests to see how your heart, blood vessels, eyes, feet, and nerves are doing. Your blood pressure, blood fat levels, glycohemoglobin levels, and body fat must also be checked. Your health care team can instruct you on how to start an exercise plan.

Look for an activity that you enjoy. Make sure it’s right for your current level of fitness. Walking may be a good way to get started. It is convenient and low in cost. All you need to get started are cotton socks and a pair of supportive shoes that fit well.

With regular exercise you can reduce stress, increase energy, lose weight, lower blood sugar, and help control your blood pressure. In the long run you’ll feel better and love the way you look.
