An Australian study revealed that an extra quarter-hour of sleep, along with simple improvements in exercise and diet, could reduce the risk of premature death by up to 10%.
A recent Australian study showed that just adding 15 minutes of sleep at night could make a significant difference in expected lifespan, especially if paired with simple improvements in physical activity and diet quality, according to the "Daily Mail."
The study, conducted by a team from the University of Sydney led by Professor Emmanuel Stamatakis, was based on tracking data from over 60,000 people over eight years. The results indicated that increasing sleep by fifteen minutes per day, along with 1.6 additional minutes of exercise, and half a serving more of vegetables, could reduce the risk of death by 10%.
For those seeking greater results, the study indicated that increasing sleep by 75 minutes per week, performing an additional 12.5 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise, and improving the quality of food by 25 points, could cut the risk of death by half.
The researchers emphasized that small, concurrent changes in sleep, movement, and nutrition have a powerful synergistic effect, making them practical steps that are feasible in everyday life without significant cost or effort.
