Jacob Hascalovici shared with RexMD Chief Medical Officer Anthony Puopolo how physical activity can help you live longer.
- doing low-impact exercises. Such exercises improve mood, and also reduce stress on the joints. You can do activities such as yoga, swimming, tai chi, cross-country skiing, hiking, cycling. At the same time, make sure your workout includes both cardio and strength exercises. Ideally, physical activity should be 30 minutes a day, five days a week, or 150 minutes a week in general.
-
Regular stretching. It will make it possible to avoid physical pain that can occur as the body ages. Talk to your doctor about the exercises that are best for you.
-
climbing stairs. This will not only slow down aging but also improve your strength and stamina. You can also prevent the loss of muscle strength and bone density that comes with age.
