A research reported in the British Journal of Sports Medicine investigated information from 196 journals published to draw more general conclusions about the impact of exercise on health. According to the latest study, dedicating 11 minutes each day to exercise significantly reduces the risk of premature death and helps prevent heart disease, stroke, and various types of cancer compared to not exercising at all.

"For those who feel anxious about the concept of engaging in moderate-intensity physical activity for 150 minutes per week, our findings should bring good news," said one of the research authors, Soren Brage, PhD, in an official statement. "Moving is better than not moving at all." Research on the benefits of exercising for 11 minutes per day that can reduce the risk of death is cited from Health.com (28/2)."

Activities that can increase heart rate and cause sweating, such as walking the dog, practicing yoga, cycling, or dancing, can all be included in the recommended weekly target of 150 minutes. Light activities can help lower blood glucose levels by responding to insulin in the body. Moreover, engaging in simple activities such as walking is highly beneficial for older adults in maintaining leg strength, balance, and overall physical endurance as they age.
