Take the stairs more often for a longer life

A scientific analysis shows that it is better to take the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator. In fact, regular stair climbing is strongly associated with a longer and healthier life. The analysis showed that people who regularly take the stairs instead of the elevator have a 24% lower risk of death from a variety of causes. The risk of death from cardiovascular disease even decreased by 39%. The researchers analyzed data from 9 studies with a total of more than 480,000 participants. Both healthy individuals and people with a history of heart problems participated in the study. The results clearly show that stair climbing not only reduces the risk of heart attacks, heart failure and strokes, but also increases overall life expectancy. According to the researchers, any form and amount of stair climbing is good for health. Thus, they recommend taking the stairs more often.
