Boost your longevity by exercising...just a little.
If you're pushing age 60, more or less, and have a sedentary lifestyle, you are among the group of people who would benefit most from doing a little exercise. Join that group if you have important things to do over the next 10 years.
Nine studies, which included 122,000 people, were recently analyzed for the British Journal of Sports Medicine. The researchers concluded that over a 10- year period, those starting to do a very modest amount of exercise benefited the most. They were 22 percent less likely to die during the study.
Those who exercised two to three times more than that gained only another 6 percent reduction in mortality and those who exercised the most had a 7 percent increase over them.
To convey a simple and attractive message, study authors recommend about 15 minutes of moderate exercise, such as walking, five days a week.
