Scientists from the University of Oxford analyzed the health status of 1.1 million. women from Britain. Patients with cancer, diabetes, stroke, thrombosis and heart disease were excluded from the study. The average age of the study group was 56 years, and the observation itself lasted for nine years. Data provided by Zee News.

The activity of the participants was measured at the start of the experiment and after three years. In addition to these data, scientists established the number of hospitalizations for each woman..

The presence of constant physical activity (at least 2-3 times a week) for three years made it possible to reduce the number of visits to the doctor by 20% compared with the group of people who do not go in for sports.

Doctors advise sports that are safe for recovery: walking, cycling and outdoor sports. Constant and intense physical activity, according to the research, does not give the desired result, only overload the human body and lead to acute and chronic diseases.
