Just 75 minutes of weekly exercise was linked to a lower risk of'mortality, cardiovascular diseases, and cancers.

Could walking every day for just 11 minutes help reduce your risk of heart attacks, cancer, or even premature death? A new study suggests so.

The study, titled Non-Occupational Physical Activity and Risk of Cardiovascular Disease, Cancer and Mortality Outcomes: A Dose–Response Meta-Analysis of Large Prospective Studies, was published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.
