You are free to share it with the world within the comment section of this article.

Doctors had frequently been telling us all how to do our best in trying to live a long life. Eating lots of fruits and vegetables, working out, getting enough sleep, or avoiding alcohol, drugs and smoking are all on the list. But for those smart guys who bring us such tips, updates always appear.

Strengthening exercises represent the key

CNN tells the world about new research published recently in the British Journal of Sports Medicine that may shock you. It reveals that 30 to 60 minutes a day of strength-related physical exercises every week will lead to a 10-20% lower risk of early death from all causes. Also, the risk of having to deal with diabetes, heart disease, or cancer goes down as well in the case of those who are physically active.

If you want even more benefits for your health, you can choose to add any amount of aerobic activity to those sessions of strength exercises. This combination will grant you a 40% lower risk of early death, a 28% lower risk of cancer-related death, and a 46% lower incidence of heart disease.

There’s no secret that pretty much any kind of strength exercise is good for your health, in any amount. Dr. William Roberts from the University of Minnesota explained in an email as CNN quotes:

You do not need to train for the marathon to be healthy and improve your health,

A combination of 5-10 minutes of strength exercise and 30 minutes of walking most days of the week will produce great health benefits across the population.
