Working out could decrease your healthcare costs, especially if you have heart disease. Exercising for at least 150 minutes of a week was found to lower costs significantly. “Patients with heart disease who did moderate to vigorous physical activity for 30 minutes at least five times a week saved an average of more than $2,500 in annual healthcare costs, the study found…The research suggests that if just 20 percent of patients with cardiovascular disease who are not getting enough physical activity would meet exercise goals, it might save up to $6 billion a year in health care costs…” The study noted that even people without heart disease could reduce their bills by exercising because regular physical activity severely lowers the chance of illness and improves overall health.
