Forget miracle pills — cardiologist Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj says your body’s best healer is already built in. Movement can outmatch any supplement in extending your lifespan.
More than 80% of chronic diseases are driven by lifestyle — not genes. Regular motion keeps cells youthful by activating mitochondria, your body’s natural energy engines.
Walking daily can slash your risk of heart disease by nearly half. Dr. Bhojraj calls it “the simplest, most accessible prescription for a stronger heart.”
Studies show aerobic exercise increases blood flow to the brain, improving memory, focus, and resilience — the ultimate guard against cognitive decline.
Walking, dancing, or yoga lowers cortisol, the stress hormone that silently accelerates ageing. The calmer your body, the clearer your mind.
You don’t need a gym or gear — just 30 minutes of intentional movement a day. Even gentle activity can spark powerful cellular repair.
Movement trains your physiology to thrive, not just survive. It improves oxygen efficiency, balances blood sugar, and keeps every organ in sync.
10,000 steps a day isn’t just a fitness cliché — it’s a scientifically backed path to halving your risk of diabetes, heart disease, and dementia.
“The pharmacy comes last — physiology comes first,” says Dr. Bhojraj. Move your body daily, and it will reward you with decades of vitality.
