Study Finds Variety in Exercise Linked to Lower Risk of Death and Longer Lifespan

A recent BMJ Medicine study involving over 100,000 participants found that engaging in a variety of physical activities, rather than focusing on a single routine, is linked to a 19% lower risk of death from all causes. The research suggests health benefits plateau after about 20 weekly MET hours of exercise, indicating that mixing workouts like walking, cycling, and strength training may offer greater longevity benefits without requiring excessive activity.
