Exercising Just for 21 Minutes a Day Helps Us Live Long

Exercise can help you improve your self-esteem, keep your mind off problems, and give you a sense of control. In general, people who are fit have less anxiety, depression, and stress than people who are not active. 'Exercise' not just does miracles to our body, but also helps us to live a long life.

A research has proven that by exercising just for 21 minutes a day can boost the lifespan by more than three years, the Independent reports. According to the study, which was carried out on 6,600 people over 12 months, people who increased their activity levels to 150 minutes a week - about 21 minutes a day - saw their life expectancy increase by more than three years.

The researchers calculated their findings by analysing each participant's "Vitality Age," and it is an aggregate measure of wellness that evaluates the gap between physical body age and actual age.

The researchers were able to assess the impact of behaviour on life expectancy, by surveying participants before and after they made changes to their everyday behaviour As revealed by the participants, the main barriers preventing them from exercising were time constraints (31 percent), cost (21 percent) and not enjoying it (19 percent). The objective of the survey was to make small changes like taking the stairs or standing for half an hour at work.
