Move More like Blue Zones® Folks for Longevity and Living Healthier

Living a healthy, longer life is something we all aspire to achieve. Fortunately, we can gain valuable insights from the five Blue Zones® around the world, where people maintain an active and healthy lifestyle well into their senior years. In this article, we’ll explore the simple Blue Zones® secret of moving more, which can help you achieve longevity and better health.

Moving More the Blue Zones® Way

Blue Zones® folks are not gym fanatics. They move more in their daily lives through their regular activities. For instance, they walk, cycle, or enjoy gardening daily to incorporate more movement. The key takeaway here is to incorporate exercise as part of your daily routine rather than just a feature of your workout regime.

Caloric Burn and Inaccuracy of Treadmill Counters

Caloric burn has long been a benchmark for weight loss and fitness progress. But did you know that the calorie counters on most treadmills are often inaccurate? This is because they don’t account for age, weight, and fitness level. Variables This makes calorie counting on treadmills a less accurate way to measure caloric burn than other methods.

NEAT Way to Burn Calories

The NEAT way of burning calories can be a game-changer in moving more and achieving longevity and better health. NEAT (Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis) refers to the calories burned while performing non-exercise activities like fidgeting, walking, and standing. Studies have shown that NEAT can burn up to 350 calories a day, which is more than a 30-minute workout on a treadmill. Hence, incorporating NEAT activities into your daily lifestyle can enhance caloric burn and longevity.

Fidgeting for Better Health

Fidgeting is a form of NEAT movement that can help boost your caloric burn. Studies have shown that people who fidget often burn up to 350 more calories daily than those who don’t. Hence, incorporate fidgeting activities such as tapping your feet, bouncing your knees, or any other active motion into your daily routine, and reap the health benefits.

Easy Ways to Move More

Moving more need not be a daunting task. There are simple ways you can incorporate movement into your daily routine. For instance, standing more often encourages more significant activity. You can also walk, cycle, or take the stairs instead of lifts or escalators. Doing house chores like gardening, cleaning, or carrying groceries can also be an excellent way to increase movement.

Conclusion

Living a healthy, active, and long life is achievable by incorporating the Blue Zones® secret of moving more into your daily routine. The key is staying active throughout the day and integrating NEAT activities into your everyday way. Moving might not be easy at first, but small daily changes can make a big difference in achieving longevity and better health. So, start small and keep moving to reap the immense benefits of a healthier, longer life.
