How Physical Activity Boosts Your Life Expectancy

A recent study published in the National Institutes of Health has found that regular physical activity can add years to your life. The study, which looked at data from over 700,000 adults, found that those who engaged in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity for at least 150 minutes per week had a life expectancy that was 3-7 years longer than those who were inactive.

This is great news for anyone looking to improve their overall health and well-being. But it's especially relevant for older adults, who are more likely to suffer from chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. Physical activity can help to reduce the risk of these diseases, as well as improve bone density, balance, and cognitive function.
