Prevention magazine recently identified 17 ways that exercise improves our health. Although there are a few obvious benefits on the list – like weight loss, reduced stress, etc – there are a few that might surprise you. Regular exercise can:

- Improve your vocabulary
- Improve your dental health
- Reduce your risk of getting colds
- Improve your vision
- Help you sleep more soundly
- Make you smarter by improving mental fitness
