Air pollution is making people lazier, a new study claims. According to scientists in the United Kingdom, current levels in that nation are causing an extra 22 minutes of inactivity each day.

Sedentary behavior is linked to heart disease, certain cancers and early death.

Long-term exposure to current levels of UK air pollution is associated with an annual increase of up to 22 minutes of sedentary time each day, in a study published in the Journal of Public Health.

People are more likely to die from a heart attack, cancer or other causes within a decade if they walk at a slower pace, say British researchers

Science is constantly making new discoveries and developments with the goal to advance the human race.

A new study has found that fast walkers live longer than slow walkers, as it might improve your life expectancy.

Leicester researchers found that those who self-identify as brisk walkers - clocking up at least 4 miles (6km) per hour - slash their risk of dying early or from cancer, heart attacks or strokes.
