From Nice News:
Some promising news for people who struggle to fit exercise into their daily routines: Research has shown that short bursts of activity derived from simple, household tasks are tied to lower risks of heart attack, stroke, and death.
Publishing their work in the journal The Lancet Public Health, scientists out of Australia and the U.K. looked at data from over 25,000 adults aged 42-78 who wore fitness trackers every day for two years. They linked that data to participants’ medical records over the better part of a decade to study how the activity affected their health statuses.
