A new study has looked at how the right combination of sleep, exercise, and nutrition can have a significant impact on our risk of serious health problems, such as heart attack, heart failure, and stroke.
The research, conducted by experts from Australia, Chile and Brazil and published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, followed more than 53,000 adults from the UK Biobank study over eight years. It found that even small changes can cause real improvements in health outcomes. These include sleeping just 11 minutes longer each night, eating 50g more vegetables every day, and adding 4.5 minutes of exercise to your daily routine. The team found that this combination of daily habits can lead to a 10% reduction in major cardiovascular events.
