Don’t Overdo the Exercise

It has been gospel for many years that exercise is an essential part of maintaining good health and contributing to longevity.

There is no doubt that is true, however, it is important that you not overdo it.

You don’t need to train for a marathon to get benefits from exercise. In fact, one study from Iowa State University showed that people who ran for only 5 to 10 minutes a day at very moderate speeds received as much benefits in terms of life expectancy as those who ran much longer and at higher speeds.

Aristotle is once more proven right: Moderation in all things is the best policy.
