The staff of the University of Washington analyzed data from 174 studies published between 1980 and 2016.
Scientists have discovered that people with high levels of physical activity reduced the risk of developing breast cancer, colon cancer, diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
The researchers measured the metabolic equivalent (MET)-minutes per week. This indicator reflects how many calories a person has spent a minute of physical activity. The study showed that the optimal level of physical activity – from 3000 to 4000 MET-minutes per week. To achieve it is not very difficult.
So, 3000 MET-minutes per week is 10 minutes of climbing stairs, 15 minutes of cleaning with a vacuum cleaner, 20 minutes gardening, 20 minutes running, 25 minutes walking or Cycling per day. Scientists strongly recommend that people be active. This will help to strengthen health.
