Exercise may help support healthy aging by improving important biomarkers linked to blood sugar control, mitochondrial function, cardiovascular fitness, muscle strength, mobility, and chronic inflammation. While exercise cannot stop aging, combining aerobic activity, resistance training, balance work, and regular movement may help preserve function, resilience, and independence as we age.
