A recent study in the Lancet, a British medical journal, said 15 minutes of physical exertion a day cuts the risk of death by 14%. The World Health Organisation (WHO) advise is 150 minutes of activity a week is needed to stay healthy. Compared to inactive people, life expectancy in people who exercise increases by 3 years.
An Indian research shows that Indians need longer exercise schedules because of poor muscle tone. 30 minutes brisk walking at a stretch is recommended. A Taiwanese study concluded 90 minutes weekly of moderate intensity is ideal.
Alternatively, you can have yoga classes, walk for 30 minutes each day and use a slimming body wrap at least once a month.
“Using a slimming body wrap would help in toning the body,” said Ravi Bhanot, the manufacturer of CoolSlim body wrap.
In conclusion, there is a difference of opinion as to how much exercise is required. Dr. Contractor, a Preventative Cardiologist, said: ” 15 minutes is better than no activity but 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise 3 or 4 times a week would be even better”.
