At present, exercise is the closest thing to an anti-aging pill that exists. Just 30 minutes of exercise each day can reduce a person’s risk of developing heart disease by up to 50 percent, according to the World Health Organization. And research has shown that three 10-minute bursts of activity are just a beneficial as one long session, so the recommended daily exercise quota could be achieved simply by taking a few short walks during the day, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, or parking your car a few minutes from school and walking to pick up your kids. According to the WHO, such simple measures to incorporate 30 minutes of exercise into our daily life could halve our risk of developing chronic inactivity-related disease such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.

Dr. Moulas,
ReplyDeleteWhat do you recommend for someone that has bone spurs and can't walk for 30 minutes?
Hi Candy,
ReplyDeleteI would recommend swimming and possibly biking as viable alternative exercises.
Thanks for the question,
Dr. Bob Moulas
