The Power of Short Bursts: How Everyday Activities Can Boost Your Health

Did you know that short bursts of activity can help you live longer? This is called VILPA, or vigorous intermittent lifestyle physical activity. It means doing everyday things with more energy.

You don't need to go to the gym. Instead, you can run up stairs, walk fast, or play with your kids or pets. Doing these for just 1-2 minutes at a time can be good for your health.

Studies show that 3-4 minutes of VILPA each day can lower the risk of early death by 40%. It can also help your heart stay healthy. This is great news for people who don't have time for long workouts.
