Life is much faster than it used to be; people try to keep up and often forget the importance of getting enough rest. An example I often come across in conversations is that someone exercises and watches their diet, but the results are not there, which leads to frustration. My first question in those situations is: how many hours do you sleep? How do you sleep? And that is where the problem comes in, because people often do not see the importance of sleep and ignore that aspect. Sleep is precisely that element that allows the body to recover, because during sleep the production of growth hormone increases, which directly affects the recovery and growth of muscles. If we do not sleep enough and quality, this can lead to a decrease in muscle mass and an increased risk of injuries.

Rocket sports are at the top of the list when it comes to increasing one's life expectancy. In a study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, more than 80,000 adults were followed over a nine-year period to compare the impact of different sports on a person's health.

Swimming came in second place with a 28 percent lower chance of a shorter life.
