A study conducted in Great Britain determined that physical activity effectively helps prolong life – even in less than 15 minutes a day.

Experts identified the easiest way to prolong life – 13 minutes of physical activity each day. This is written by the publication “Medicine and Science”. Thanks to such a small amount of physical activity, it is possible to extend life by several years.

“Just a few minutes of physical exercise a day can have a huge impact on human health in the long term,” the authors of the project state.< /p>

They were experts from the health insurance company Vitality, who analyzed data on the physical activity of 140,000 people. The obtained data show that playing sports for a total of 90 minutes a week (or 13 minutes a day) during the year increases the life expectancy of an inactive person by three years. If a person exercises for 25 minutes a day, their life can be extended by four years.

“We found that people who added four minutes of exercise to their daily life increased their life expectancy by 1, 7 years old”, – the researchers additionally reported.

Speaking of exercises, the experts noted that even just walking would be suitable. They also recommend short runs, bike rides.
