All good points. However, you really should replace "prevent" with
"lower the risk for." For example, you may have a genetic
predisposition for a heart attack. There is no guarantee that exercise
will prevent it, but it will certainly lower the risk for it.

When I'm getting too annoying, my husband gives me the sweetest smile and
goes "Why don't you take some time to yourself and hit the gym?"
