Do you want to live longer?

An article in the Guardian outlines the importance of mobility in both our daily lives and its impact on our longevity.

From 2002 to 2011, Brazilian researchers tracked 2,000 people aged 51 to 80 who had taken part in a test requiring them to sit on the floor from standing, then get back up, all without using their hands, knees or arms. 

Over the following nine years, those who failed this “sitting-rising test”, whatever their age, were five to six times more likely to die earlier.

Have a read of this article to understand better the benifits of gaining and maintaining our mobility throughout life and the way that it can positively impact our lives.
