RUN AWAY FROM DEATH?

As we know from previous studies, to achieve a healthy and long life requires 2 basic lifestyle factors: healthy diet and physical exercise. Now we learn from Australian research that running moderately but frequently may even postpone death considerably. Read on to learn more about. 

THE PHILOSOPHY BEHIND

As you know from my previous publications, to have a healthy and long life requires 2 specific lifestyle factors above all: healthy diet and (preferably aerobic) physical exercise.  
 
So far so good?

EXTEND LIFE WITH RUNNING – SCIENTIFICALLY VALIDATED

Now we learn from, inter alia, Australian research at Victoria University in Melbourne and the University of Sydney that running as part of physical exercise does not only protect our health in general in terms of body and mind.
 
Rather, it also can slow down our aging process and delay our death, even in cases of cancer and cardiovascular disease which, as you know, are topping the statistics of chronic disease with premature death.
 
For this purpose, the above mentioned researchers carried out a meta-analysis of 14 studies involving different kinds of publications, conference papers, and doctoral theses. Including more than 230,000 participants in a time range between more than 5 and 35 years.
 
The result: yes, runners have a 27% lower death risk of all causes. Men and women alike. The death risk of participants with cardiovascular disease being even 30% lower.  
 
Leaving us with the question how often and how long we need to run to achieve this goal? Unlike potential assumption, running just once a week (or less!) – but frequently – was adequate.
 
Even when running low speed such as 6 miles per hour and no longer but 50 minutes.
