\"US Ever wondered if we can somehow reduce the risk of lifestyle diseases like heart, diabetes, and cognitive decline, by as much as half? No, there is no magical pill, but the answer lies in your very own body. Yes, that is right! Movement is one of the most powerful tools for anti-ageing, and reducing the risk of major chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, and cognitive decline. Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj, a US cardiologist with 20 years of experience, emphasises that how we move daily is more important than complex health fads or medicine cabinets. Let\u2019s dig deeper\u2026Why movement is the most powerful anti-ageing toolDr. Bhojraj highlights that over 80% of chronic diseases are driven by lifestyle factors – how we move, eat, sleep, and manage stress. Among these, intentional movement is the \u201cmost powerful anti-ageing tool\u201d we have. It does not mean intense workouts only; any movement that challenges your muscles and lungs teaches your cells to stay strong and alive. This sets the foundation for healthier ageing. He says, \u201cHow you move, eat, sleep, and manage stress determines far more about your longevity than what\u2019s in your medicine cabinet.<\/p>\n

Why are women more at risk for heart disease?<\/p>\n

And yet\u2026 most people start at the pharmacy instead of with their physiology.\u201d\"5\"How movement cuts disease risk by 50%According to Dr. Bhojraj, regular strength and aerobic exercises can lower your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cognitive decline by up to half. This is huge because no medicine can come close to providing these benefits. The movement signals to the mitochondria in your cells – your energy engines to thrive on oxygen and sunlight, powering your longevity naturally. According to Dr Bhojraj, \u201cStudies show consistent strength and aerobic training can lower your risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cognitive decline by up to 50%. No pill comes close to that.\u201dWalking: A simple yet powerful stepYou don\u2019t need fancy equipment or a gym membership. Dr. Bhojraj points out that consistent daily walking can bring remarkable heart benefits. Walking 10,000 steps or even 20 to 30 minutes daily helps regulate blood pressure, improves circulation, and supports healthy heart rhythms. A study shows that walking daily can reduce heart disease risk by nearly 50%.Movement is keyMovement is not just physical; it also lowers cortisol, the body\u2019s main stress hormone. High cortisol harms the heart and brain. Regular movement eases stress, improving mood and cognitive function. Slower walking pace or lack of movement correlates with higher risks of depression, anxiety, and memory issues, while regular movement protects brain health.\"1\"Movement is for everyoneDr. Bhojraj encourages integrating movement into daily life in any form\u2014walking, yoga, swimming, or strength training. The message is clear: \u201cTo age well, start here, not at the pharmacy.\u201d He further added, \u201cThat\u2019s not a hack\u2014it\u2019s how your body was designed to heal.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ever wondered if we can somehow reduce the risk of lifestyle diseases like heart, diabetes, and cognitive decline,…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":297428,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[3655,151718,210,1691,16585,145906,67,132,68,151717],"class_list":{"0":"post-297427","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-health","8":"tag-diabetes","9":"tag-dr-bhojraj","10":"tag-health","11":"tag-heart-disease","12":"tag-movement","13":"tag-sanjay-bhojraj","14":"tag-united-states","15":"tag-unitedstates","16":"tag-us","17":"tag-us-cardiologist"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=297427"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/297427\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/297428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=297427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=297427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=297427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
