Your Key te Better Health _

Exercise is Medicine.

More physicians than ever before are encouraging their patients to embark on exercise
programs. Why? The simple truth is that exercise really is medicine - medicine in its
truest and most naturai state.

Often when peopie think of medicine they associate the term with drugs and
Prescriptions taken to treat or heal varicus health conditions. Exercise in the form of an
exercise prescription is much like a drug prescription in that it also helps enhance the
health of those who take it in the proper dosage.

Because of this unware! trand to view exercise as an alternative for discase

therapy and health promatian it is important to let your physician know what you are
doing. The combined efforts of your physician and fiiness professionals can iead you to
a brighter future.

The heaith rewards of exercise howaver extend far beyond its effects on
disease alone. in faci, the reasons why most people exercise isn't to treat disease but to
prevent it. Health care professionals like to refer to this as Upstream Medicine.
Upstream Medicine is truly health promotion at its finest. Exercise empowers individuals
to swim against the natural flow towards the sickness and the healthcare system as they

age.
