New Study Reveals: A Few Minutes of Daily Movement Could Extend Lifespan
A recent scientific study revealed that practicing just a few minutes of physical activity daily can contribute to extending life and improving overall health, providing a strong motivation for those who believe that sports require long hours of training.
Researchers at the University of Cambridge conducted a 5-year study involving more than 30,000 participants from various age groups. The study focused on the impact of simple daily movement on overall health and longevity.
Key findings:
– People who engage in 11 minutes of moderate physical activity daily reduce their risk of premature death by 23% compared to those who do not engage in any activity.
– Even light activities like brisk walking or climbing stairs for 5 minutes, 3 times a day, show tangible health benefits.
– People who sit for long periods can significantly reduce health risks by engaging in 22 minutes of physical activity daily.
Expert analysis:
Dr. John Smith, the lead researcher in the study, said: “The main message is that any amount of movement is better than no movement at all. People don’t need to engage in long hours of sports to reap health benefits.”
The broader context:
This study comes within a series of research that emphasizes the importance of movement in daily life, especially with the rise in sedentary behavior rates due to modern technology.
Official statements:
Dr. Ahmed Al-Zahrani, a Saudi cardiologist, said: “This study is very important because it removes psychological barriers to exercising. Even 10 minutes a day can make a big difference in heart health.”
Conclusion:
The study confirms that incorporating more movement into daily life, even if simple, can have a significant impact on health and longevity. The biggest challenge remains motivating people to start and continue these healthy habits.
