More energy and improved mood
Better sleep patterns
Stronger bones and muscles
Improved balance and coordination
Better weight control
Healthy habits can reduce your risk of chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and cancer. If you already have a chronic condition, these habits can help you manage it and improve your quality of life.

About Southport

Southport is a city on the North Carolina Coastal Plain. Back in the 18th century, British settlements along this stretch of coast were afflicted by buccaneers and Spanish frigates to the point that a fortification named Fort Johnston had to be built, around which a town then called Smithville after Revolutionary War figure Benjamin Smith took shape, which eventually became known as Southport. But if anything Southport is a leisure and retirement haven, although granted it does have some military and nuclear power facilities nearby. It's also a filming location, such as for the movies Safe Haven and Nights in Rodanthe that you might have seen.
