flag Adding just five minutes of brisk walking daily may reduce the risk of early death by up to 10%, according to a large study of over 135,000 adults across the UK, Norway, Sweden, and the US. flag Reducing sedentary time by 30 minutes per day was linked to a 4.5% to 7% lower mortality risk. flag A separate study of 60,000 UK Biobank participants found that small daily improvements—five extra minutes of sleep, two more minutes of activity, and half a serving of vegetables—could add nearly a year to life, especially for those with poor lifestyles. flag Combined, these modest changes were associated with a 9.35-year increase in lifespan and better healthspan. flag Researchers stress that even small, consistent habits can yield significant long-term benefits, though findings should not replace individual medical advice.
