No matter how thin or fat you are, if you exercise daily for ten minutes or on an average for 75 minutes per week, then your life expectancy tends to increase by two years, as revealed by U. S. researchers.
For conducting this study, researchers collected data of 650,000 men and women all aged 40 and above in Sweden and the U. S. Their respective activity levels were recorded.
This study was carried out by Steven Moore of the U. S. National Cancer Institute along with his co-authors. All of them emphasized regular activity to be an effective way of boosting life expectancy.
As a result, researchers found that all of them who were indulged in any kind of physical activity for at least 75 minutes a week or just over 10 minutes a day, had an 1.8 years increased life expectancy than those who did not had any kind of leisure-time doings.
Similar to this, by brisk walking for 450 minutes a week which means an hour daily results into adding another 4.5 years to life.
As said by researchers in the November issue of the journal PLOS Medicine, published by the Public Library of Science, "More leisure-time physical activity was associated with longer life expectancy across a range of activity levels and body mass index groups".
