At present, exercise is the closest thing to an anti-aging pill that exists. Just 30 minutes of exercise each day can reduce a person’s risk of developing heart disease by up to 50 percent, according to the World Health Organization. And research has shown that three 10-minute bursts of activity are just a beneficial as one long session, so the recommended daily exercise quota could be achieved simply by taking a few short walks during the day, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or parking your car a few minutes from school and walking to pick up your kids. According to the WHO, such simple measures to incorporate 30 minutes of exercise into our daily life could halve our risk of developing chronic inactivity-related disease such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.
exercise is wonderful, just have to be disciplined to do it!! great info, thanks Dr. Bob.
ReplyDeleteDoes walking benefit you as much as working out at a gym for 30 minutes?
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteYes, being regular at exercise is very important. The benefits are there if you can stay consistant.
Thank you for the comment.

What if you don't have 30 minutes a day to exercise, what would be the least amount of time a week to still benefit?
ReplyDeleteThis is great to know. I work out everyday for 1 hour!

Danielle,
ReplyDeleteI think you can actually get a good workout in 10 minutes, 3 times per week if your program is organized. Something is better then nothing.
Good luck,
Dr. Bob Moulas
