The secret of health in a daily habit: why should you walk the stairs

Although we are often looking for the fastest way to get to the right floor, refusing an elevator in favor of stairs can be a daily investment in our own health. Even a few spans a day bring noticeable benefit - and not just physical.

A striking example was Sean Grizley from Las Vegas, who set a world record on September 3, 2021, climbing and descending to 8,849 meters-the equivalent of the top of Everest in less than 23 hours. And he did all this ... on the stairs of his own home.

Its time - 22 hours, 57 minutes and 2 seconds - became an official record in the vertical lift category. But in addition to extreme, the so -called Tower Running is gaining popularity in the world - a lifting competition to large heights inside the skyscrapers. There is even an international association of tower running with the official rating of athletes.

However, in order to feel the benefits, it is not necessary to train as a professional. Regular uplift stairs:

  • improves heart and blood vessels - even 3-5 minutes a day have an effect;

  • strengthens the muscles and joints;

  • Increases energy and improves mood due to endorphins;

  • activates brain work - stimulates memory and concentration;

  • Helps control the weight - 10 minutes of stairs burn as many calories as a 20 minutes of walk.

Studies show that even office workers who rise several times a day show better work capacity and a lower risk of depression.

It may be worth choosing not a lift, but a staircase - especially when you are not late and have only a few floors to the goal. It is a simple, affordable and reliable path to better well -being - step by step.
