Studies Find Small Daily Activity and Sleep Increases Can Extend Lifespan

Multiple international studies published in The Lancet and eClinicalMedicine highlight that small daily increases in physical activity, sleep, and diet can significantly reduce mortality risk and extend lifespan. Adding just five minutes of walking or sleep, two minutes of brisk activity, or half a serving of vegetables daily may add up to a year of life, especially for those with poor baseline habits. These findings are based on data from over 135,000 adults across several countries, emphasizing realistic, incremental lifestyle changes for better health outcomes.
