    Eijsvogels and Thompson talk about physical activity which is associated with reduced risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, and dementia in a dose-dependent fashion. Several studies have assessed the minimum amount of physical activity needed to provide cardiovascular benefits. A large Taiwanese study demonstrated that individuals exercising l5 minutes a day at a moderate intensity had a reduced risk of all-cause mortality and a 3-year longer estimated life expectancy compared with their inactive peers.
