11 Minutes Daily Walking Prevents 1 in 10 Deaths - CHHH2509

This is Cedarvale Health Retreat sharing Health Hope and Happiness. ----------- How can you keep your body active? A simple, natural way is to go walking for 11 minutes. Why 11 minutes? A meta-analysis of over 30 million participants showed that brisk walking for 11 minutes per day could lower the risk of death from all causes by 15.7%, plus prevent 1 in 10 premature deaths. Isn’t that amazing! Now, 11 minutes isn’t much – most people can do this! And if you do it twice per day, you’ll meet the minimum daily physical activity recommendations for public health. Exercising outdoors has extra benefits including sunshine, fresh air, and nature scenes. It’s also worth doing stretching and resistance activities, especially as you get older. Remember, with activity, every bit counts. So, even vigorous housework, gardening, yard maintenance, walking to the shops, around the office or to public transport all count towards daily activity. Be an opportunist and take every chance - you’ll feel your best! _________ Find out more about Cedarvale at cedarvaleretreat.com.au.
