A new study from Tulane University is in the headlines. This report has been published in 'The Independent'.

According to the report, climbing 50 stairs daily reduces the risk of heart disease by about 20 percent.
Why climbing stairs is good for the heart
Stress, coronary artery disease, and atherosclerotic heart disease (ASCVD), are the leading causes of death worldwide. Dr. Lu Qi, co-author of the report published in 'The Independent', was quoted as saying that climbing stairs rapidly improves cardiorespiratory fitness and There is an easy way to improve lipid profile. For people who do not exercise or gym. A professor at Tulane University's School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine said this. If you want to avoid ASCVD, climbing stairs is considered very good.
In this research, many angles of heart disease were researched.
The researcher used the data of UK Biobank to give a right direction to the research. Which included 450,000 adults. To detect heart disease, the people involved were first evaluated based on their family history of heart disease, known risk factors and genetic risk factors. A survey on lifestyle and frequency of climbing stairs was also conducted, with an average follow-up period of 12.5 years. In this research it was also said that people who climbed more stairs every day had less risk of heart disease.
This research was done in England
According to Dr. Nicholas Berger, senior lecturer in sport and exercise at the University of Teesside, England, climbing stairs has more benefits than walking on a flat surface because it requires the use of more muscles, balance and gross motor skills. He further adds that climbing stairs involves cardiovascular activity. This is why people often experience shortness of breath when engaging in this practice. Actually, when you climb stairs, the heart rate increases and adequate amount of oxygen reaches it. Due to which the risk of heart disease, heart attack and stroke is reduced and the heart becomes healthy.
