Swimming has always been known as a great form of exercise, but researchers have new evidence that it might be the absolute best.
Not only is swimming easier on your joints, it may just help you live a longer life than other kinds of exercise. A new study from the University of South Carolina revealed that when swimming was compared to running, walking, or being sedentary it decreased men’s risk of dying from a variety of diseases by almost a whopping 50%.
Within a 32 year time frame, 40,000 men were observed by researchers. They discovered that the men who were regular swimmers had elevated levels of aerobic fitness than men who did other exercises such as walking.
Although they studied only men in this certain analysis, the doctors are strongly convinced that there is no reason why swimming would not give women similar benefits.
