Being sedentary should be viewed as a disease.
Nothing moves the needle more for longevity than improving cardiorespiratory fitness, and the best way to do that is simple: get more active (and make some of it vigorous).

Being sedentary should be viewed as a disease Low cardiorespiratory fitness (measured as VO₂ max) puts you in a mortality risk category comparable to, or worse than, smokers and people with diabetes or heart disease The encouraging part: moving from low to even low-normal VO₂ max is linked to roughly a 2-year increase in life expectancy Going further, high cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with about 5 more years of life and ~80% lower all-cause mortality compared to the lowest fitness group When it comes to longevity, nothing moves the needle more than improving cardiorespiratory fitness
