A gift to us, health is riches. Not an option but a necessity. It’s crucial for people to maintain their fitness and engage in regular exercise in today’s hyper-speed society.
The harm is a result of our overuse of sitting. According to a recent study, everyday exercise not only keeps you fit but also boosts your self-esteem and reduces stress.
By middle age, a regular 10-minute brisk walker can add 16 more years to their life and halt the aging process.
The CUHK Jockey Club Institute of Ageing’s director and researcher Professor Jean Woo claims that there is a developing trend of increased reliance and weakening alongside the rise in average life expectancy.
A poor lifestyle is a major contributor to early death and a number of illnesses.
“To combat the developing tendency of reliance and weakness in later age, safeguard your physical and mental health by making lifestyle adjustments and learning new skills. Along with the rise in average life expectancy, there is a developing tendency of reliance and fragility, he warns.
The rate of aging is slowed down by daily 10-minute walks, a plant-rich diet that supports the gut-brain axis reduces the incidence of dementia, and social interaction has a positive and measurable effect on brain health, according to Woo.
Mobility problems caused by aging are increasingly a typical occurrence. Over 30% of persons over the age of 70 find it challenging to walk around, get out of a chair, and climb stairs.
