He notes that over 80% of chronic diseases are driven by lifestyle factors such as movement, diet, sleep, and stress management, with intentional movement being especially crucial.

A US cardiologist emphasizes that daily movement is the most powerful tool for reducing the risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cognitive decline by up to 50%, highlighting its importance for healthy aging.

Regular strength and aerobic exercises stimulate cellular mitochondria, improving oxygen and sunlight utilization, which significantly lowers disease risk.

Movement also reduces cortisol levels, the stress hormone that harms the heart and brain, thereby lowering risks of depression, anxiety, and memory issues, while enhancing mood and cognitive function.

Simple activities like walking 10,000 steps or engaging in 20-30 minutes of movement daily can greatly improve heart health, regulate blood pressure, and reduce heart disease risk by nearly half.

Dr. Bhojraj recommends incorporating various forms of movement such as walking, yoga, swimming, or strength training into daily routines, emphasizing that this approach supports natural healing rather than relying solely on medication.
