These are very few things anyone could think of in a few minutes. You can fill in numerous pages when you take some more time. What is this all about? The above are a few things you can do to take advantage of 5 extra years of life. Because this is what you get from 30 only minutes of daily exercise. Multiply the above numbers at least by 2 when that exercise is combined with other healthy habits like good nutrition or the absence of smoking and heavy drinking. Then, enjoy a vast number of benefits! Do you consider yourself quite old to establish some or all of the above healthy habits? The research about the five extra years is actually about older people!!! Multiply the benefits even more when you exercise from an early age. So never think negatively anymore by believing you are pretty old to start healthy habits like exercise. Yes, the benefits are the most precious when one starts healthy habits early in life, but research shows they are significant even later.
In other words, the research results tell us that there are no further excuses for not being active even when we are older. So, let’s all get inspired by that research, start exercising regardless of age, and eat healthier. Oh, remember to wrap those habits in positive thoughts. Life is always more positive and beautiful after exercise!
