When studying the link between exercise (activities like gardening, chores, cycling, and walking) researchers found that individuals who got the most movement were less likely to develop these conditions.
The Department of Health and Human Services recommends beginning with 150 minutes of moderate physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity each week.
