To Live Longer Exercise


An incredibly large study of 122,000 people over 60 years of age revealed that those who did just a modest amount of exercise were 22 percent less likely to die than their sedentary counterparts who did not exercise..

In this study those who got off of the couch and averaged  only about 75 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity a week improved their longevity.That is a modest  amount of exercise. Should you exercise more than that? Of course! However it may not pay great dividends in your longevity. It turned out that those who exercised two to three times more than 75 minutes a week gained only another 6 percent reduction in mortality.

The researchers recommended that at least 15 minutes of exercise five days a week was a reasonable first target for sedentary older adults who wanted to improve their health. In general we agree, but those of you who do not exercise at all should look at this recommendation as a minimal starting point It is better to move a little than not to move at all.
