N2  - A continual exercise program, properly performed, can dramatically slow and partially reverse the debilitating effects of age and certain chronic diseases that accompany the aging process. Exercise has multiple propitious effects: it can relieve pain, produce a sense of well-being, prevent falls, increase independence, reduce medical costs, reverse obesity, protect joints from further breakdown, and increase lung and heart function. It is relatively cheap and safe-provided certain principles are followed.<p />
