Even adding just one hour of walking weekly can significantly improve overall health and reduce mortality risk. The American Heart Association recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week, which can be broken down into 30-minute sessions five days a week.

Key Benefits of Physical Activity
Health Impact
• Reduces risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer
• Improves mental health by reducing stress, anxiety, and depression
• Enhances overall well-being and quality of life

Even small amounts of physical activity can provide significant health benefits. Studies from wearable devices indicate that any physical activity, regardless of intensity, is associated with a lower risk of mortality in a non-linear dose-response relationship.
