No better medicine than sport?

It’s back-to-school time, time for new sporting resolutions. Today, the benefits of physical activity on physical and mental health are undeniably recognized and demonstrated by the scientific community.

Countless scientific studies have evaluated the effects of regular physical activity on physical and mental well-being.

Regular physical activity not only helps prevent a number of illnesses, but also improves quality of life during illness, and complements treatment for certain chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, high blood pressure and osteoporosis, as well as cancer, and has beneficial effects against dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

Some supplementary insurances encourage physical activity by covering part of the cost of your sports membership. From now on, your doctor can prescribe regular physical activity.
