So, walking twice as long-40 minutes a day, compared to the recommended 20-yields twice the benefit. But, walking 300 minutes a week drops overall mortality by 14 percent. Walking for only 60 minutes a week only drops your mortality rate about 3 percent. Following the current recommendations for 150 minutes appears to reduce your overall mortality rate by 7 percent, compared to being sedentary.
It is true that walking 150 minutes a week is better than walking 60 minutes a week. They already emphasize that any physical activity is better than none so, why not stop patronizing the public, and just tell everyone the truth? The exercise authorities seem to have fallen into the same trap as the nutrition authorities, recommending what they think may be achievable, rather than simply informing us what the science says, and letting us make up our own mind.
That’s actually down from previous recommendations from the Surgeon General, and the CDC, and the American College of Sports Medicine, which recommended at least 30 minutes each day. Ideally, how much should we exercise? The latest official physical activity guidelines recommend adults get at least 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic exercise, which comes out to be a little more than 20 minutes a day. population collectively exercised enough to shave just one percent off the national body mass index, two million cases of diabetes, one-and-a-half million cases of heart disease and stroke, and a hundred thousand cases of cancer might be prevented. Exercise can help with mental health, cognitive health, sleep quality, cancer prevention, immune function, high blood pressure, and lifespan extension. Of course, that doesn’t mean you can just sit on the couch all day. As we’ve learned, diet is by far our greatest killer, followed by smoking. And, inactivity barely makes the top ten, globally.
Researchers who accept “grants from The Coca-Cola Company” may call physical inactivity “the public health problem of the 21 st century.” Actually, physical inactivity ranks down at number five in terms of risk factors for death in the United States, and number six in terms of risk factors for disability.
