11-minute active walks daily reduce the risk of early death, scientists say
Scientists from the University of Cambridge spoke about the impact of active walks on life expectancy. It is reported by Science Daily.
Researchers have found that 11 minutes of moderate physical activity a day is enough to reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and a number of cancers. Scientists say that one in ten early deaths can be prevented if people implement at least half the level of exercise recommended by doctors into their schedule.
“Moderate activity does not have to include what we usually call sports. Sometimes it’s enough to change some habits,” notes Leandro Garcia. Experts advised dancing and tennis, walking or cycling, and increasing the pace of walking in everyday life.
Earlier it was reported that American scientists have identified the optimal amount of exercise per week to prolong life. The researchers said it required 150 to 300 minutes of moderate activity per week, 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous activity, or an equivalent combination of both.
