People with ongoing health conditions often wear a medical alert bracelet to provide a degree of peace of mind.
After all, this can ensure that medics are made aware of any underlying health issues if a person needs emergency treatment.
This could go some way towards reducing stress should a sick person ever go out or take a holiday overseas.
However, researchers at the University of Georgia are saying physical activities such as walking and weight lifting can also help to reduce the symptoms of anxiety.
As a result, they believe taking exercise could be an effective and affordable way of coping with chronic health conditions.
'Exercise seems to work with just about everybody under most situations,' said Pat O'Connor, co-author of the research.
Lead author Matthew Herring added that the findings could be important because the ageing population means more and more people are living with chronic illnesses.
Only this week, the Audit Commission warned that the growing number of older people in Britain is putting councils under an increasing amount of financial pressure.
