Exercise is very important to senior Australians, as it improves fitness and gives a better quality of life.

There are many health conditions which benefit from regular exercise. Exercise may even prevent some of these conditions from developing in the first place.

Make regular exercise a daily part of your life, but always see a doctor to ensure it is safe for you before you start, especially if you have not done any exercise in some time.

NOTE: Mega doses of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, or other supplements cannot cure illnesses and in fact can be very dangerous and produce toxic side effects and interfere with medicine you are taking. Always ensure you consult your doctor before taking any type of nutrient supplement.
