prescribir un médico especialista en ejercicio. Physical activity and exercise are
very important parts of a healthy life

prevention of chronic non-infectious
diseases, but in order to obtain their full
benefits; exercise needs to be done on a
regular basis (daily) in 30 minutes

sessions during a long period of time. It
is important that physical activity
regarded and handled as a tool, be
prescribed and supervised by qualified
physicians with the proper training and
expertise. The benefits achieved by regular
