11 minutes of daily walks will help to avoid early death.

Scientists have found that brisk walking for just 11 minutes a day reduces the risk of premature death by almost a quarter. These findings are based on the largest study of over 30 million people worldwide. Health experts recommend 150 minutes a week of moderate physical activity. However, even half that amount brought significant benefits, reducing the risk of cancer and cardiovascular disease by 7% and 17%, respectively.
