A new research conducted on the relationship between 24-hour daily routine and heart diseases and diabetes has revealed surprising results. In this research, more than 2,000 adults wore sensors for seven days, which helped scientists know how much time they spent doing small tasks like sitting, standing, going to their home or office to get water, and sleeping .
According to new research from Swinburne University of Technology and Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute, published in the journal Diabetology, eight hours of sleep is necessary to reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Also, at least 2.2 hours of light to moderate activity every day is also necessary.
The 24 hours of the day are divided in this way-
8 hours sleep
Sleep is like medicine for health. In such a situation, 8 hours of sleep helps in reducing the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes.
light activity
At least 2.2 hours of light to moderate activity every day, such as getting up to drink water, going to the washroom, or taking a walk with friends. This action proves helpful in controlling sugar and increasing metabolism.
to bear
Stand for at least 5.2 hours every day. Reducing sitting time and increasing standing time can help prevent heart diseases.
moderate to vigorous activity
Moderate to vigorous activity such as walking more than 100 steps per minute should be done for more than 2 hours every day.
Guidelines will be prepared soon
Based on this research, preparations are being made to make new guidelines in Australia. This research is inspiring for people who want to improve their health and avoid heart diseases and diabetes.
