A study by Booth, Roberts and Laye (2012) found, as other researchers have found, a link between activity and longevity. According to the study cited above, active adults have a 30% lower risk of premature death. They found that data gathered by anti-aging research supports an inverse relationship premature death and physical activity in adults. The human body was made to move. Sedentary lifestyles have a negative effect on cells, gene function, the immune system and human movement that cause accumulative dysfunctions that accelerate death.
Similar studies have found that active adults who follow a healthy lifestyle a 3 to 5 year end of life period of debilitation compared to a debilitation period of 8-15 years for sedentary adults. In short, regular physical activity allows you to live longer and healthier with the prospect of living independently about 3 to 5 times as long.
As a bonus, you look better, feel better and function better. Why would you not want to become active?
