The Miracle Cure

Scarlett McNally, a Consultant Orthopaedic surgeon, and her colleagues have spent 2 years analysing more than 200 separate pieces of research. The effect that regular exercise could have on our health is amazing. Exercise could:

• prevent type 2 diabetes
• reduce the risk of getting breast cancer by 25%
• decrease the risk of bowel cancer by 45%
• reduce the risk of having a stroke by 30%
• reduce the risk of developing dementia by 30%
• cut the risk of developing heart disease by over 40%
• as well as improvements to mental health

Exercise doesn’t have to be vigorous but it should be regular. Simply start by increasing your physical activity in whatever way you can: walk more, take the stairs, do some gardening, ride a bike…the possibilities are endless!
