NEW DELHI: For optimal health, a person’s ideal day should include more than four hours of physical activity involving exercise of light, moderate or vigourous intensity, and at least eight hours of sleep, new research has found.
Light-intensity activity could range from doing chores to making dinner, whereas moderate and vigourous exercise involve more intentional movement such as a brisk walk or a gym workout, researchers said.
The ideal daily routine should also include six hours of sitting and five hours of standing, they said.
