Moderate walking may reduce mortality risk, expert says

Dr. Valter Longo from the University of Southern California has shared three walking rules that may help increase longevity. He emphasizes the importance of lower-impact movement alongside strength training and proper nutrition. Taking the stairs is recommended for improving fitness without special equipment. It can enhance bone density, lower cholesterol, and support joint health, according to experts. A recent study indicates that excessive exercise may not lead to longer life. It found that moderate activity is linked to a 7% reduction in mortality risk, while pushing beyond recommended levels does not show additional longevity benefits.
