Everyone knows that sports are good for health, but many people think: "It's easy to just say it, but it's difficult to do it." However, research has found that it's not difficult to exercise and strengthen your body. Just spend 15 minutes walking and doing it 4 times a week to prolong your life. Moreover, sports are very helpful, regardless of age, and research is published in the European Menopause Journal and the Little Science Journal.

Italian researchers followed 200 elderly people in nursing homes with an average age of 80 for 10 years. During this period, they monitored the elderly's lifestyle and health habits, including psychological state, dietary habits, weight, whether they smoke or drink coffee, whether they are depressed, and whether they have cancer and other symptoms. 80% of the researchers were physically active. During the 10 years of study, two-thirds of the wishes died. The analysis of differences between them and survivors showed that the elderly who walked four times a week for at least 15 minutes each time had the highest overall survival rate.

Researchers said that walking is a relatively simple form of exercise for the elderly, and with fresh air when walking, walking can improve the efficiency of the immune system to resist viruses, strengthen bones, reduce obesity, and also improve balance and reduce the risk of fall injuries. It also affects heart disease, wind and other possible causes of death in middle-aged and elderly people.

And people who cannot exercise should not be angry. According to research at the University of Salagoza in Spain, as long as the "blood oxygen machine" that is similar to that in recent times is very popular in China, the platform can be used to transmit vibration from the bottom of the foot to the whole body, and the movement can be stronger and more agile. Researchers pointed out that for elderly people who are unable to exercise independently, whole body vibration can stimulate muscles and improve health. American researchers also believe that although many people think that passive motors similar to this type of passive operation seem to be a scheming situation, they cannot deny the role of increasing the human circulation. This research report was published in the Journal of European Menopause.

Education is also very helpful for children. Research published in the Journal of Little Science shows that the more time a child spends on moving briskly, the lower the percentage of body fat. The U.S. Department of Health and Welfare (HHS) recommends that children and teenagers should exercise for at least 60 minutes every day with a brisk walking strength of about 5.6 kilometers per hour.
