Regular Exercise extends your Life Span

A new research study revealed that as little as 15 minutes of exercise daily can extend your life span by as much as three years

Taiwanese researchers surveyed more than 400,000 study applicants in a 12-year period, where patients self-reported their weekly workout routine and were then categorized in one of the five groups: inactive, low, medium, high or very high exercise routine. 

The research revealed that individuals in the low-exercise group, who spent minimum of 15 minutes on fitness per day, reduced their risk of dying by 10 per cent and had a three-year longer life expectancy than the inactive group. More exercise led to greater life gains. Every added 15 minutes of daily exercise further reduced all-cause death rates by 4%. 

Exercise reduces disease and death dramatically for all major progressive diseases. According to a study involving over 13,000 participants cited by Ray Kurzweil in The Future of Aging, the overall death rate for moderate exercisers was 60% less than the sedentary group–and the high fitness group scored much better. Yet some 70% of Americans do not participate in any type of physical activity.


Exercise is critical to help dodge or reduce diabetes as well as most other diseases. According to the American Diabetes Association, exercising moderately for only thirty minutes a day coupled with a 5-10% reduction in body weight resulted in an astonishing 58% reduction in diabetes.
