Scientists have described a way that can not only increase your age but can make you more fit and happy. This method is neither of any expensive medicine, nor of any difficult diet.

Who doesn't want a long and healthy life? Everyone wants to live a big life. If you also want your life to be long and healthy, then scientists have described a way that can not only increase your age but can make you more fit and happy. This method is neither of any expensive medicine, nor of any complicated diet. By incorporating one simple habit into your daily routine, you can add 11 years to your life.

A new study has revealed that the effect of physical inactivity on the length of our lives may be much greater than previously believed. The study, conducted by researchers from Australia's Griffith University and other institutions around the world, suggests that if people over the age of 40 became as physically active as the most active 25% of the population, their life expectancy could increase by an average of five years.

How much exercise is necessary daily?

The research, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, states that if you are not doing 150-300 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity a week, then you are missing the opportunity to live longer and good health in your life.

How was the study?

The researchers analysed mortality data from the CDC National Center for Health Statistics for 2017. It included more than 36,000 Americans who were over the age of 40, whose physical activity data was taken from the National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey from 2003 to 2006. The researchers translated each type of moderate to intense physical activity into the equivalent of "walking minutes" to make it easier for comparisons between different groups.

What does the conclusion say?

Professor Lennert Verman, the lead author of the research, said that this study gives tremendous motivation to inactive people who do not do physical activity. If the least active people started exercising as much as the most active people, their life expectancy could increase by up to 11 years. If all people above 40 years become as physically active as the most active 25% of the population, then on average, their life expectancy can reach 84 years. So if you also want to make your life long and healthy, then include physical activity in your daily routine today and enjoy health.
