Habits that shorten life have long been studied and taken into account. They are used to scare people, to dissuade them, to urge them to take care of the most precious thing - health.
There are also many habits that prolong life. These are healthy eating, sports, quality rest, treatment, and only one is considered the most accessible.
British scientists have named a habit that prolongs life by at least 11 years.
According to research results published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, it is walking.
Benefits of Walking
A regular walk increases physical activity, but you need to walk every day.
The main goal is to maintain physical activity at the same level that only 25% of the most active people on earth maintain.
This primarily concerns people over 40 years of age.
In order not to be unfounded, experts published some figures.
If a person walks every day for 2.5 hours and at an average speed of 4.8 kilometers per hour, he can extend his life by 5 years.
If you increase your walking, then every additional hour of walking will prolong your life by an average of 6 hours.
This rule is recommended for everyone who leads a sedentary lifestyle.
