Investing 30 minutes a day in aerobic exercise -- such as walking, bicycling or swimming -- can help you live longer and healthier. In fact, aerobic exercise may be the magic bullet you've been looking for.

Regardless of your age, weight or athletic ability, aerobic exercise is good for you. As your body adapts to regular aerobic exercise, you'll get stronger and more efficient. Your small blood vessels (capillaries) will widen to deliver more oxygen to your muscles and carry away waste products, such as carbon dioxide and lactic acid. Your body will even release endorphins, natural painkillers that promote an increased sense of well-being.
