Run 5 Minutes A Day, Gain 3 Extra Years Of Life?

A recent study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology concluded that people who run on a regular basis as little as five minutes a day can add three years to their lifespan. While the researchers could not prove running was directly responsible for the longer lifespan, they were able to prove a strong link between running and living longer, Running was linked to a 30% lower death risk from any cause and a 45% lower death risk from heart disease or stroke.

 

What I found fascinating was how such a small time investment could yield such improvement. I've been walking regularly for awhile now. Maybe it's time to step it up, ha ha.
