Australian study finds daily exercise, equivalent to three hours of walking, can extend lifespan and cut early death risk by 73%.

Australian researchers found that daily physical activity, equivalent to three hours of walking, can significantly extend lifespan and reduce the risk of early death by 73%. The study with 35,000 participants wearing activity trackers suggests that even small increases in daily movement can have a major health impact. Experts recommend 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of intense weekly exercise plus twice-weekly strength training for overall health. They also advise simple actions like taking stairs, brisk walking, and cycling weekly to reduce premature death risks.
