Short Bursts of Activity Linked to Longer Life
What if living longer didn’t require the gym, strict routines, or hitting 10,000 steps a day? New research suggests that tiny bursts of intense movement woven into everyday life running up the stairs, power walking while doing chores, or even energetic gardening may dramatically reduce the risk of early death. Scientists call it “exercise snacking,” and the results are striking: just a few one-minute bursts a day have been linked to lower heart disease risk, reduced cancer risk, and longer life, even among people who never formally exercise. The findings challenge everything we think we know about fitness and suggest that how you move throughout the day may matter more than how long you work out.
Healthy Fact of the Day: Hand grip strength is linked to overall health and longevity. Research shows that stronger grip strength is associated with better muscle function, improved cardiovascular health, and a lower risk of age-related decline. Simple activities like squeezing a stress ball or carrying groceries can help maintain grip strength over time.
