to lead to a healthy body. Exercise must be a part of that formula. Exercise

combination with healthy eating habits can accomplish the same goal. So, try
to engage yourself in moderate daily activity such as taking the stairs instead
of the elevator to work, cleaning your pool instead of hiring someone to do
it, walking with your family when the temperature cools down preferably at
night, or any of the other activities listed below All of these small
activities can count in reducing your chances for heat disease, stroke,
