Although I mention that you don’t need to do much exercise to gain benefits — a certain amount is required to achieve specific antioxidant results on a cellular level.

Don’t get me wrong, doing something is better than doing nothing, but we have to put in some mighty effort to gain specific results regularly.

But don’t worry; these things develop as you gain more experience in the game.

So in the first instance, all we have to do is start somewhere, and that place is currently where we are at.

When you are older, a 30-minute workout window will not give you the added benefits on a cellular level that a younger person would achieve.

But don’t let that deceive you into believing that 30 minutes isn’t adequate for overall health and wellbeing — because it most certainly is.

Let’s look at the study which generated these results so you can compare your age and level of fitness.
