Physical activity, such as a brisk walk, reduces mortality. Here are some stats on lifespan and exercise: Having a normal weight but being inactive: -3.1 years. Having a normal weight and being active: +7.2 years. Walking at least 150 minutes a week: +3.4-4.5 years. Even low amounts of activity, such as 75 minutes of walking a week, adds 1.8 years. Bottom line: maintaining a normal weight and being active adds the most years to your life, but even some activity is better than none.
