Perhaps many have understood that not exercising can increase the likelihood of developing disease or premature aging. Underestimating the importance of exercise can indeed be harmful to health. But not many seem to know that the health risks of avoiding exercise are just as harmful as smoking.
Quoting USA Today (25/10), a study at the Cleveland Clinic studied more than 122 thousand patients who participated in treadmill testing between 1991 and 2014.
The study showed better cardiorespiratory health closely related to longer life. Meanwhile, extreme aerobic fitness provides the greatest benefits. Especially for people over 70 years of age and people with hypertension.
The study also said, the risk posed by not exercising is equal or higher than smoking or diabetes.
"Aerobic fitness is something that most patients can control," said cardiologist Dr. Wael Jaber from the Cleveland Clinic. They also found that in exercising there was no limit to how much exercise to do.
The study was published on October 19 in the Journal of the American Medical Association Network Open.
Although many studies support the importance of exercise, many people in the world do not have sufficient physical activity.
Last month, the World Health Organization (WHO) found that 1.4 billion of the world's population is not physically active. This puts them at risk for diseases such as diabetes.
Research from the Institute for Exercise and Environmental Medicine at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital and the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, USA found that exercise two to three days a week can minimize stiffness in medium-sized arteries.
Well, it turns out exercise is really important for health. It's good if this good habit starts immediately. No need to exercise hard to start. Walking at high speed can actually be a good start.
