Here’s some news you can use. Exercise, the medical
profession has proved for the umpteenth time, reduces the risk of early
death.
You knew this already, but there’s no harm in being
reminded. From the UPI (via Maggie’s Farm)
Getting
just a small amount of exercise each day may significantly cut the risk of
early death, new research shows.
Replacing
30 minutes of sitting time each day with moderate to vigorous exercise was
associated with a 45 percent lower risk of death, according to a study published Monday in the American Journal of
Preventive Medicine.
Those
results were shown in people already putting in 17 minutes of daily
moderate-to-vigorous exercise. People on this workout regime were also more
likely to be thinner, more educated and less likely to smoke, leading them to
suffer fewer strokes, heart attacks and early deaths.
Within
the same group, replacing the 30 minutes of sitting with light exercise was
linked to a 14 percent risk of death.
And finally:
"These
findings suggest that the replacement of modest amounts of sitting time with
even light physical activity may have the potential to reduce the risk of
premature death among less active adults," conclude the authors.

I think I saw this before, unsure if the same, originally from January? I'll have to catch up with my FitBit friends and ask if its still motivating them to stay active every day. Otherwise a simple pedometer has worked well for me.
