A quick walk a day may keep an early death away.
A recent study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine
found that as little as 75 minutes a week of moderately intense, non-occupational physical activity substantially lowers the risk of
dying from certain types of cancer or heart disease, two of the
leading causes of death among adults.
That's just over an hour a week - and half the 150 minutes a week
recommended by the CDC - of activity where your heart rate is 50% to
60% higher than when at rest.
You?ll know you're at the right level of activity if you can speak
while doing it but not sing, according to the CDC. So, while walking
outside might make you feel like singing, in order to reap the health
benefits of this walk, you'll have to leave that to the birds.
This study is the largest ever done on this topic, pooling data from
196 articles and over 30 million participants from nearly 100 study
groups, so the results are significant.
