Stairway to a longer life: study shows climbing stairs reduces risk of death
A new study presented at a scientific conference emphasizes the importance of physical activity for longevity. Research shows that climbing stairs can significantly increase lifespan and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and premature death. Stair climbing was associated with a 24% reduced risk of death from any cause and a 39% lower likelihood of death from cardiovascular diseases. Experts recommend incorporating stair climbing into daily routines for overall health benefits. Other suggestions for adding more activity to your day include incorporating short bursts of speed into walks, on-the-spot jogging, and playing tag with children or pets. These activities not only benefit the heart but also work muscles, burn calories, and boost mood.
