New study: Doing This For 3 Minutes A Day Can Help You Live Longer

This study examined 25,241 "nonexercisers" from the UK Biobank. For over seven years, researchers monitored the study group, whose mean age was 61.8 years. 852 individuals died throughout the research (511 died from cancer and 266 from cardiovascular disease).

Researchers found that those who did three brief, strenuous workouts a day had a considerably decreased chance of dying. Three daily one-minute bursts of strenuous movement reduced the chance of mortality from any cause by 39%. They were 49% less likely to die from cardiovascular disease and 30% less likely from cancer.

Those who did 11 minutes of brief bursts of exercise daily had a 65% lower risk of cardiovascular disease and 49% lower risk of cancer.

The Guardian quotes research co-author and University College London professor of sport and exercise medicine Mark Hamer, Ph.D., as saying, "For instance, playing with kids. You may notice your bus leaving and have to run to catch it. You may live in a flat and have to take your goods upstairs."

This supports the growing amount of data that exercise doesn't need marathon training. Frequent short activities can reduce inactivity and improve strength and mortality risk as we age.

Bursts of activity today: 7 methods.

This study's remarkable results urge us to undertake lifestyle adjustments to promote health and lifespan.

Focus on frequent brief bursts of exercise. On busy days, try these simple exercises to keep active. Their finest feature? They don't need changing clothes, waking up early, or driving to the gym:

  • Race your kids to the vehicle.

  • Walk briefly.

  • 10-burpees

  • Play/walk with your dog.

  • Take the stairs (and hurry!)

  • Dance a minute.

  • Jump rope quickly.

  • Do 3 yoga poses

Conclusion:

A new study published in Nature suggests that people who don't exercise may be less likely to die from cancer and heart disease if they do three one-minute bursts of vigorous activity every day. Luckily, it's easy for all of us to fit in short bursts of exercise like these into our day. We don't need to plan ahead or buy any special equipment.

Stress-Busting Sequence

Our brains don’t know the difference between being chased by a tiger and being pinged by a triggering email. Both activate the amygdala—the part of our brain that kicks on when we are in distress and perceive a danger (real or imagined). This brings on the fight-fight-freeze response. Hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline flood your system, creating intense and immediate reactions: Your heart rate increases, your palms sweat, and you may feel the urge to run or hide until the danger disappears. This biological response can save your life when you’re in real and urgent peril. But when non-life-threatening events repeatedly trigger the reaction, the constant onslaught of hormones can take a toll on your immune system, mess with your gut health, and leave you more susceptible to long-term mental health disorders such as depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Yoga, meditation, mindful breathing, and tuning in to your senses can help you cultivate presence, which can help to counter the stress reaction and reduce feelings of anxiety. For example, slowing your breath can move thoughts out of the amygdala and back into the prefrontal cortex—the thinking mind where more conscious and deliberate decisions are made.

1. UTTANASANA (STANDING FORWARD BEND)Stand in Tadasana (Mountain Pose) with your feet hip-width apart and parallel. Hinge at your hips and fold, allowing your head and arms to dangle, or hold opposite forearms. Slightly bend your knees if you feel tightness in your back body. Hold for 10 breaths.

2. SETU BENDHA SARVANGASANA (BRIDGE POSE)Lie on your back with the soles of your feet on the floor, hip-width apart and parallel. Lift your hips, interlace your hands under your sacrum, and press your arms into the mat. Release tension in your shoulders, and allow your upper back to widen into the floor. Hold for 2–5 minutes.

3 SUPTA MATSYENDRASANA (SUPINE SPINAL TWIST)From Bridge Pose, lower your hips to the mat, shifting them slightly to the right. Cross your right shin over your left thigh. Drop both knees to your left. Keep your shoulders on the floor. Hold for 8 breaths. Repeat on the other side.

4 UTKATASANA (CHAIR POSE)Stand in Mountain Pose. Keeping your heels rooted, bend your knees as if sitting back into a chair. Lower yourself as far as possible, shifting your weight back so that you can see your toes. Extend your arms above your head, and release your shoulders down to create more space in your neck. This pose is also known as the “powerful pose,” because it’s all about standing in your power and being able to sit with what is. When we can learn to sit with discomfort on the mat, we can sit with it off the mat. So stay. Hold for 8 breaths.
