How a Daily 30-Minute Walk Can Slow Biological Aging
A recent study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine revealed that maintaining aerobic fitness through middle age could delay biological ageing by 12 years. Physical therapists at Fort Lee Physical Therapy agree and encourage people to incorporate even a modest exercise program into their daily routine.
A brisk 30-minute walk each day can improve the body’s ability to generate energy, which can slow and possibly reversing the ageing process. Walking is a low impact exercise for developing and maintaining cardiovascular fitness.
If you are just starting an exercise program and have health concerns, consult a physical therapist first. They can recommend exercises that are appropriate and safe.
