The benefits of exercise are immeasurable for keeping you looking and feeling young. Lack of exercise doesn’t just shorten your life, increase the risk of obesity and heart disease, but exercise can also keep your brain young by protecting against Alzheimer’s, boosting your mood and leaving you feeling alert and energized. Furthermore, the increased blood flow to your skin can help keep your complexion clear, bright and youthful-looking. On the other hand, while we should all make an effort to stay active, too much exercise can cause stiffness in joints and increase the risk of arthritis.
