Start gradually – step by step. On which floor will you stop?

Regularly climbing stairs, especially to the fourth floor, significantly reduces cardiovascular mortality risk by 39% and overall mortality by 24%, according to research from the University of Medicine in Norwich involving over 480,000 participants. Climbing stairs is comparable to running, enhancing muscle strength and heart fitness, with heart rates potentially reaching 160 beats per minute. Experiencing breathlessness by the second floor may indicate health issues, while no shortness of breath up to the sixth floor suggests good physical condition. Thus, using stairs serves as an accessible preventive measure against cardiovascular diseases.
