According to a new research, individuals who are energetic and remain consistent in their daily exercise routine, tend to stay more fit and fresh for the years to come.

Sanjay Sharma, who is the professor of cardiac diseases at St George's University, London insisted on the significance of gentle movement, in the form of walk as it can actually reduce the chances of dying from heart attacks or diseases in the age group of 50's and 60's. This develops a direct relationship between exercise and the concept of ageing, as people who are steady in doing exercises, tend to slow down the process of ageing.

The research actually proves that daily exercises, which involves slow jogging as well as walking, tend to add three to seven years to life. Those who are hardcore exercise enthusiasts claim it to be one sort of an anti-depressant, as it can not only enhance and boost up the cognitive function of every individual, but also can create an obstacle in the way of upcoming syndromes such as dementia.

20 to 25 minutes of every day walking and jogging never hurts anyone! It for sure helps boost up your stamina and make you look super young for your age. It not only freshens up your skin due to perspiration, but also lowers down the risks of heart attacks.

The research was carried out at the Saarland University, Germany, where the participants were non-smoking individuals and showed no association with exercise, but claimed to be otherwise healthy. The results complemented the theory and proved that aerobics, cardio, high intensity everyday training all poses a positive effect on the human's ageing process.

It doesn't matter which age you begin, exercise in every age will combat diseases and other conditions that might be on the verge of attacking you. So whether you are a patient of heart conditions, or quite young for that reason, workout at every age is essential and should be made an integral part of the daily routine.
