Researchers have been highlighting the significance of stair climbing in promoting cardiovascular health and prolonging life expectancy. Stair climbing has been found to decrease the risk of mortality from cardiovascular disease by 39% as opposed to those who avoid stairs. The activity is believed to be beneficial to the heart as it amalgamates cardiovascular and resistance training. However, further research is required to establish whether the health perks escalate in line with the frequency of stair climbing. Embrace the stairs, extend your lifespan. This is the message conveyed by researchers from the United Kingdom, who have discovered that the act of climbing stairs can significantly mitigate the risk of mortality from any cause, and particularly from cardiovascular disease. ...

Physical activity is known to provide numerous health benefits, among which is the reduction of heart disease risk. This is partly due to its effect in decreasing brain activity associated with stress, a recent study suggests. Understanding the connection between physical activity, stress, and heart health requires a multi-disciplinary approach, with research spanning the fields of cardiology, neurology, and psychology. The study, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, suggests that physical activity can lower the risk of heart disease. This is accomplished by reducing brain activity triggered by stress, which in turn, lessens the strain on the heart. The prefrontal cortex, a region of the brain associated with decision-making and goal-oriented behavior, p...
