This NOT new news - the more active you are, the healthier you are. Most recently I posted an article about decreased rates of dementia in people who exercise. Another study published recently in the British Medical Journal looked at activity and how it correlates to the risks of death. The researchers found in people who are more active, the risk of death from cardiovascular events is reduced 29%! Even the chance of dying due to cancer drops 11%!
How much exercise do you need?
The ultimate goal of exercise is either
2 and 1/2 hours of moderate exercise, or
1 and 1/2 hours of vigorous exercise (these are the
minimums). Said another way, this is about 20 minutes of daily walking. Of course - you can always do
MORE!
