Dr. Robert Sallis, president of the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), and Dr. Ronald Davis, president of the American Medical Association (AMA), are spearheading the Exercise is Medicine initiative. This joint initiative of the ACSM and the AMA wants to make the medical community and the general public aware of the value of exercise to health. They want physicians to begin prescribing regular exercise as readily as they prescribe drugs and other therapies. They also want the general public to begin taking this miracle medicine.
This quote from the physicians introduction to Exercise is Medicine seems to describe a miracle drug that can prevent and treat many modern maladies. Certainly any pharmaceutical company that could create such a wonder drug could make more money than Bill Gates.
Put on your walking or running shoes and take your medicine.
The magic wonder drug? Exercise [link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! And it's free!

The Prescription
The rising cost of health care is a major expense for society. Drugs and other treatments are increasingly expensive. If physicians begin prescribing regular exercise and all their patients begin taking exercise as medicine, health care costs for society will decrease significantly.
Exercise improves mental health and brain function in both youths and older adults. Exercise induced improvements in brain function reduce the risk of dementia in older adults.

"Dear Doctor, What if there was one prescription that could prevent and treat dozens of diseases, such as diabetes [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], hypertension and obesity? Would you prescribe it to your patients? Certainly"
There are many health benefits to regular exercise.
Exercise reduces the risk of colon cancer and diabetes.
Heart disease is a major killer. Regular aerobic exercise improves the cardiovascular system and thereby reduces the risk of coronary heart disease. Exercise also improves hypertension (high blood pressure) and cholesterol levels which are risk factors for heart disease.
Health Benefits of Exercise as Medicine
The prescription recommended by the Exercise is Medicine program is simple. Exercise for thirty minutes each day. The exercise doesn't have to be elaborate. One does not need to be a super athlete to follow this prescription. Walking, running, swimming, bicycling, or any aerobic activity will do. Have a serious conversation with your physician about an exercise prescription, then select an activity that you enjoy. If you enjoy the exercise, you are more likely to stick with it.
Exercise improves the health of muscles, joints, and bones. This improved health allows older adults to function independently longer than they would otherwise.

Walking is an excellent activity for your exercise prescription. It requires no athletic skill or expensive equipment. It can be done at any time or place. Buy a pedometer, start slowly [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and work up to 10000 steps per day. If you improve to the point that walking is easy and want an additional challenge, you can begin running or even begin entering road races. If you are happy walking just continue walking into your old age.
Obesity is a major risk factor for many health problems including heart disease and diabetes. Regular exercise such as walking and running can help with losing weight and with keeping the weight off. Reducing obesity will reduce many health risks.
