In a recently published study from St. George’s University Hospital in London, researchers found that just 20 minutes of brisk walking seven days per week can increase your lifespan. In fact, it can add up to 7 additional years to your life. Moderate exercise in the form of walking can halve the risk of dying of a heart attack. It can also improve cognition and retard the onset of dementia. Exercise have even been found to help repair old DNA.
Exercise provides benefits at whatever age a person starts. The more active you are, the greater benefit you are going to receive.
