A new study says this type of exercise is linked to a 36% lower risk of death, and I'm pretty surprised
A new study from Arizona State University examining more than 55,000 U.S. adults found thatPilates was associated with a 36% lower risk of death, while yoga was linked to a 27% lower risk.
A recent study from Arizona State University revealed that Pilates and yoga could lower the risk of death by 36% and 27% respectively. This study examined over 55,000 U.S. adults and found that Pilates and yoga were the only two alternative health practices associated with significantly lower mortality. While the study didn't establish a direct cause-and-effect relationship, it suggests that the benefits of Pilates and yoga may be due to their positive impacts on balance, stress management, and social connection. Further research is needed to determine causation.
