Boost Longevity with This Exercise
Did you know that exercise has been tied to a longer life?
The connection makes perfect sense. After all, regular exercise can reduce the risk of the biggest killers in the world: heart disease, cancer, and type 2 diabetes.
And if you’re not suffering from one of these major killers, chances are pretty good you’re going to live longer.
But what kind of exercise is best… and how much do you have to do to enjoy these life-extending benefits?
You might be surprised by the answer.
Researchers combed through the results of 16 studies that included 480,000 people ranging in age from 18 to 98.
According to this analysis, people who did 30 to 60 minutes of strength-training exercises per week had a lower risk of cancer, diabetes, and heart disease… and a 10 to 20 percent lower risk of premature death.
And if they added in some aerobic exercise to the mix, those benefits really took off:
- 40 percent lower risk of premature death
- 46 percent lower risk of heart disease
- 28 percent lower risk of dying from cancer
In reality, exercise is likely only part of the health and longevity equation.
But it’s a BIG part that keeps popping up in research studies.
This particular study not only highlighted the fact that strength training is good for you… but that it doesn’t take much time to see major results.
We’re all busy.
But 30 to 60 minutes per WEEK is time well spent when it comes to investing in yourself… both your present and your future.
