While the traditional view emphasizes sweating it out for vanity or basic fitness, a surge of new studies is recasting regular physical activity as one of the most powerful interventions for preventing chronic disease, extending life, and supporting mental health—often outperforming medications in effectiveness, cost, and accessibility. This shift is not just wishful thinking; it is supported by robust data and expert opinions, with practical and urgent implications for the Thai public.
