In depth

According to Channel 14, a new study found that adding a few minutes of sleep, a little physical activity and a slight improvement in diet were linked to one additional year of life. According to the same outlet, the findings emphasize that no lifestyle revolution is required to achieve a significant health improvement.

According to Channel 14, a loss of just 5% of body weight in the 50s can slow the decline in heart health, and the researchers found that blood pressure and cholesterol improved. According to Ynet, even a moderate weight loss that is maintained over time may lead to heart health indicators similar to those of people who were always at a healthy weight.

According to Globes, the advantage of exercise over sleep also depends on sleep habits, and different menus are linked to different benefits.
