Mobility and the impact of movement on life expectancy
Have you ever stopped to think about the power that movement has on your health and on how long you live? The answer may surprise you: keeping your body active is one of the most important factors in living longer - and better.
According to a study published in the journal JAMA Network OpenIn fact, regular physical activity is directly associated with a reduced risk of mortality, especially among older people. And the best part: the benefits don't diminish over time! In fact, they only increase.
Why does moving make such a difference?
- Practicing 150 minutes of moderate activity per week reduces the risk of death by 14%;
- With around 300 minutes a week, this decrease can reach 26%;
- Even small amounts of exercise (less than the recommended minimum) already have a positive impact;
- The gains are even greater among older people, which shows that it's never too late to start.
Aging with quality starts now
Science proves that up to 70% of the ageing process is related to lifestyle - not genetics. And among the main allies of health over the years is movement: it preserves autonomy, improves circulation, strengthens muscles, protects the brain and even helps control chronic diseases.
