Climbing Stairs May Reduce Heart Diseases
Extensive and comprehensive research conducted by British experts has revealed that individuals who climb 50 stairs daily significantly reduce the chances of heart disease.
According to medical journals (Atherosclerosis), experts conducted research on over 400,000 individuals and studied their health and the diseases they developed over a span of 12 years.
When the research began, none of these individuals had any illnesses, but after five years of research, their health was assessed, and again, after 12 years, the results regarding the diseases they developed were obtained.
Daily stair climbing, disease susceptibility, and risk of Heart Disease
The results showed that, after 12 years, various heart diseases were diagnosed in nearly 70,000 individuals, and over 10,000 individuals were also diagnosed with strokes.
After testing all the participants, experts also evaluated their lifestyles and routines, concluding that individuals who climbed 50 stairs daily reduced their risk of heart diseases, blood clotting in arteries, and strokes by up to 20%.
It was found that individuals who climbed five flights of stairs daily had a higher likelihood of developing heart diseases compared to those who avoided stair climbing.
According to the experts, stair climbing is as beneficial as rigorous exercise, improving an individual's metabolism, which aids in better blood circulation.
The experts emphasized that climbing stairs is physically demanding compared to walking on flat ground, requiring physical exertion when ascending stairs. This overall benefits an individual's health.
Furthermore, experts noted that it's not mandatory for everyone to climb 50 stairs daily, but it's more beneficial than sitting idle, as walking is superior to sitting in terms of health benefits.
In brief, daily stair climbing has been linked to a reduced risk of heart diseases and strokes, as per extensive British research. It's a simple yet effective way to enhance heart health and improve metabolism, and circulation, underlining the importance of physical activity in one's daily routine.
