Exercise: The Key to a Longer Life
Exercise: The Key to a Longer Life: When it comes to being healthy and extending one's lifespan, there is no shortage of advice or recommended products to purchase. But while research into an optimal diet and the value of supplements is often conflicting, the value of exercise for health has significantly more consistent scientific backing.
Key Takeaways
- Just 75 minutes of moderate-intensity weekly exercise (half the government recommendation) can add an average of 1.8 years to your lifespan compared to being inactive
- Aim for 5-8 hours of weekly exercise to maximize longevity benefits, which can add an average of 4.2 years to your lifespan
- Combine endurance training with strength training as you age to counteract muscle loss and declining metabolic rate
- You don't need expensive supplements, cold plunges, or complicated regimens—a consistent, moderate exercise routine is the key to living longer
