Just a few minutes of effort could lower your risk of 8 major diseases

""Even brief moments of higher intensity effort, such as running to catch a bus, were associated with lower risks of both disease and death.""

""We know that physical activity reduces the risk of chronic disease and premature death, and there is growing evidence that vigorous activity provides greater health benefits per minute than moderate activity.""

Research indicates that just a few minutes of vigorous physical activity each day can greatly reduce the risk of developing major diseases, including arthritis, heart disease, and dementia. An analysis of data from nearly 96,000 individuals showed that even brief, intense efforts, such as running to catch a bus, are linked to lower disease and mortality risks. The study emphasizes the greater health benefits of vigorous activity compared to moderate exercise, particularly for inflammatory conditions and serious cardiovascular issues.
