An observational study published in the February 2023 publication of JAMA suggests that replacing sedentary activity with 20 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per day CAN:
- Control cell proliferation (that can lead to cancer)
- Enhance immunity
- Improve cardiopulmonary health
- Improve insulin sensitivity
- Protect mitochondrial health
- Reduce blood pressure
- Reduce body fat
- Reduce systemic inflammation
and REDUCE your risk of hospitalization from:
- Diabetes
- Cancer
- Cardiovascular disease
- Colon polyps
- Diverticular disease
- Gallbladder disease
- Iron deficiency anemia
- Ischemic stroke
- Pneumonia
- Urinary tract infection
- Venous thromboembolism
