    Exercise can help prevent and manage non-communicable diseases (NCDs) like diabetes and heart disease, as well as long-term conditions (LTCs). High levels of inflammation markers like C-reactive protein (CRP) indicate illness that can reduce productivity at work through absenteeism or presenteeism, where one is physically at work but not fully able to perform. Healthcare providers should take every opportunity to encourage exercise and healthy lifestyle changes to improve outcomes.
