The second point — physical activity. If you are a physically active person — over 50, 60 or 70 years old — and you walk at least 30 minutes every day with a brisk step, this means that you are very good and will most likely reach 90 and 100 years. Why? Very simple. People who approach physical activity wisely — that is, they have enough movement every day — do a good job of preventing various cardiovascular diseases.
Sufficient walking helps the body not to form blood clots, for example in the veins of the lower extremities. And a lot of movement is also good for the brain . In many elderly people, cognitive problems, memory loss, and bad mood are often associated with the fact that they walk little . That’s why many people ask: “Why should I walk 10,000 steps or at least 6,000?” Friends, there is a huge amount of research that says that this should be done. And if you walk often enough, or ride a bike, swim — that is, at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week (WHO recommendation) — this means that you will live long, happily, and feel great. The vessels work, the heart works, the brain works. In general, the whole organism works well — movement = life.
