Brisk Walking adds years to your Life

Just 75 minutes of brisk walking every week adds up to 1.8 years to your life, say researchers.

Adding low amounts of physical activity to one’s daily routine is associated with increased longevity: a  gain of 1.8 years of life expectancy after age 40, compared with doing no such activity.

For those who did the equivalent  to 150 min of brisk walking per week, the gain in life expectancy was 3.4 years.
