Physical fitness as preventative treatment

In the ongoing debate about health care in our country, much of the discussion is about what happens to an individual after they've suffered an injury or are already dealing with a disease or condition.  All are important topics, but as Ben Franklin once said, "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure."
