It doesn’t take much. Moving a little lets you live a lot more

It doesn’t take much. Moving a little lets you live a lot more 

Bottom Line: If you like life this is for you. If you don’t keep sitting. No doubt you’re aware that moving around is better than sitting around. But now we know the actual impact for the average person. You’re doubtlessly aware that 30 minutes a day of active activity is the recommended minimum amount recommended daily. So, what’s the specific benefit?  

A study in the American Journal of Epidemiology pinpointed it to a specific number... 17%. As in 17% more life (on average), or 17% lower risk of “early death” as its stated in the study. Now that’s just the difference in moving around for a half hour which could be a simple as just walking around a little bit. If that half hour turns into actual exercise, that 17% benefit pumps up to 35% more life.  

If you’re looking for a little motivation that might provide a lot of it for you. No real surprises here but the specificity might be helpful to quantify the risk of sitting around, which is literally doing nothing but dying sooner.
