4. Lack of Exercise
This may not sound like a big deal, but exercise is extremely important for those that want to maintain good health. New research is coming out quite regularly that reveals just how important exercise is for everyone. It has benefits that range from helping to control high blood pressure to fighting depression. Although it might seem as if only older adults need to worry about getting enough exercise, younger adults will also benefit by avoiding a sedentary lifestyle, which could put them at risk later in life for heart disease, diabetes, and other health problems. Statistics from 2005 and 2006 reveal that only 36 percent of young adults engage in regular physical activity in their spare time.
