There are very few health problems that exercise does not reduce the risk of. I just hope my joints can keep up as I get older.
That is exactly my experience. In my mid-50’s I was border line diabetic, had high blood pressure, racing heart in mornings, panic attacks in closed malls, fainting spells at work, hip joint pain, lack of energy, chest pains after eating a good meal, etc. I gradually built up my exercise to walking 30 miles at Orchard Hills gold course playing 5 rounds of 18 every week. After a year of this, all my health issues miraculously disappeared, even the hip joint pain was gone. Now at age 82, I no longer belong to a private golf club, but am doing gym routine of treadmill and light weight lifting 5 times a week. Still have zero health issues, knock on wood. Regular exercise beats all medicines, all nutritional supplements, by a mile, in my opinion.
