Staying Busy And Active Contributes To Longer Life
Physical activity as the elixir of youth might seem like old news, but there's a new twist, according to the March issue of Mayo Clinic Women's HealthSource. For the best chance of a long, healthy life, marathon training is not required. But, staying busy and active might be.
Research published last year found that any activity that contributed to energy expenditure in older adults may help prolong life. Such activities can include household chores such as vacuuming, mopping the floor, washing windows, lawn work, caring for children or adults, walking or volunteering.
The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, tracked 302 adults between the ages of 70 and 84 for six years. Participants who had shown the highest energy expenditures had about half the mortality risk of those with the lowest energy expenditures. Participants most likely to be in the high-energy group reported climbing stairs or working for pay as a daily part of their lives.
Although researchers don't have all the answers about how daily activities affect longevity, it's heartening to know when people are "too busy" for exercise, staying busy around the house, at work, or in the community may contribute to a longer, healthier life.

体育锻炼是年轻人的不老药看起来已经是“旧闻”了,不过,按照《梅约诊所妇女健康来源》三月刊所言,这中间其实也有“新说”。要有最健康长寿的人生,马拉松训练是不必了,但是保持活跃还是少不了的。

发表于去年的研究发现,任何能增加能量消耗的活动都有可能延长中老年人寿命。这些活动包括家务杂活如吸尘、拖地、擦窗、剪草、带孩子或者散步和做义工等。

该研究发表于《美国医学会杂志》,对302名年龄介于70到84的老年人进行6年随访。能量消耗最多的参与调查者与能量消耗最少者相比,死亡风险大约只有一半。能量消耗最多的组别称他们每天都有爬楼梯或者仍然做有酬劳动。

虽然研究者并没有完全清楚日常活动如何影响寿命,但是,令人鼓舞的是,即使当代人太忙而没时间锻炼,在家庭、工作或社区保持忙碌仍有可能增进健康长寿。
