ANTI-AGING TIP OF THE DAY

Tip #166 - Run Towards A Longer Life
Stanford University School of Medicine (California USA) researchers studied aged 50-plus members of a nationwide running club (matched against healthy controls), many of whom exercised as much as 200 minutes a week at the start of the study. After a 20-year study period, the team found the runners were half as likely to die, as compared to those who did not run. While running was found to reduce the risk not only of heart disease, but of cancer and neurological diseases including Alzheimer’s, the runners also experienced significantly lower disability levels throughout the study period.

Vigorous exercise conducted on a regular basis promotes a healthier – and perhaps longer – lifespan. If running doesn’t appeal to you, try cycling, rollerblading, or other vigorous intensity workout. Prior to starting such an exercise program, consult your physician to assess the level of fitness appropriate to your medical needs.
