24.01.2022 With 50% of Australians living with one or more chronic conditions and 45% experiencing mental illness in their lifetime the message "Movement is Medicine" has never been more important. Living an active lifestyle and exercising regularly can help to prevent and reduce your risk of developing a wide range of chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, dementia, depression and arthritis. Do you want to live a happier and healthier life?? Then it's time for you to sta...rt prioritising MOVEMENT. Prevention is much better than a cure, don't wait till you're sick, sore or injured. If you're living with a chronic health condition and need some help to know what exercises are safe for you?
