MODEST EFFORTS CAN REAP SUBSTANTIAL REWARDS

A recent study of 400 participants shows that even minimally active people have more positive health outcomes than completely inactive ones.  Compared with the inactive individuals, those who exercised an average of 15 minutes a day had a 14% reduced risk of all-cause mortality and a 3 year longer life expectancy.  This effect increased 4% for every 15 minutes of weekly activity.  The benefits applied regardless of gender and included those at risk of cardiovascular disease.  So, when it comes to exercise, every little bit helps!
