#1 Variable for Your Health

5/5/2016

1 Comment

 
As a physical therapist, patients often ask 'what is the single best thing I can do for my health?' As we all know, their is no single 'best answer.' Science has shown us that a combination of proper diet, exercise, minimizing stress, having positive relationships, and more all have positive indications for a healthy life. In the video below, Dr. Roberts investigates the single best variable for our health. Interestingly, he was able to find one key factor that was superior to any other at improving health. The best part? It's easy to do!  

A few keys points from the video below: 
  • Exercise for 30 minutes/day is the single best thing you can do for your health. 
  • Low cardio-respiratory fitness (CRF) and poor heart health have the strongest correlation with death. 
  • Obviously, more activity is better; however, the most important gains are found in the first 30 minutes.
  • Exercise does not have to be continuous, walking 10 minutes 3x/day is acceptable if you do not have time for 30 min continuously.
  • For every increase in 10 minutes in walking, their is a 12% decrease in likelihood of getting high blood pressure.
