1. Reduces the chances of getting heart disease. For those who already have heart disease, exercise reduces the chances of dying from it.

8. Age is no bar; there is abundant evidence that exercise can enhance health and well-being. But today for most watching TV, surfing the Internet, or playing computer and video games is replacing the helpful exercises.
9. The minimum threshold for good health is to burn at least 700 to 1,000 calories a week through physical pursuits.

As per Harvard researchers a well-rounded exercise program must have all the four components-
1. Aerobic activity
2. Strength training
3. Flexibility training
4. Balance exercises
Aerobic activity: is the centrepiece of any fitness program. Most benefits of exercise revolve around aerobic cardiovascular activity, which includes walking, jogging, swimming, and cycling. One should work out at moderate intensity when performing aerobic exercise—brisk walking that quickens the breathing is one example. This level of activity is safe.
Strength training protects bone: Strength or resistance training, such as elastic-band workouts and the use of weight machines or free weights, are important for building muscle and protecting bone. Bones lose calcium and weaken with age, but strength training can help slow or sometimes even reverse this trend.
Flexibility exercises ease back pains: Muscles tend to shorten and weaken with age. Shorter, stiffer muscle fibres make one vulnerable to injuries, back pain, and stress. But regularly performing exercises that isolate and stretch the elastic fibres surrounding the muscles and tendons can counteract this process. And stretching improves posture and balance.
Balancing exercises prevents fall: Balance erode over time, and regularly performing balance exercises is one of the best ways to protect against falls that lead to temporary or permanent disability. Balance exercises take only a few minutes and often fit easily into the warm-up portion of a workout. Many strength-training exercises also serve as balance exercises. Or balance-enhancing movements may simply be woven into other forms of exercise, such as tai chi, yoga, and Pilates.
Patient treated and then referred from a private hospital or other Government hospital with complications of surgery or delivery or bleeding, where the cause of death is unexplained.
- Relatives of the patient assault the treating doctor or other staff of the hospital.
- Any other case not falling under the above mentioned category but has legal implications like medical examination of arrested accused without consent of person.
In case of death of a medicolegal case, the treating doctor has to only handover the body to the concerned police officer with written recommendation for medicolegal (Forensic) autopsy in final death summary/discharge report and a receipt must be obtained for record.
