I live in a 3-story townhouse. Automatic heart disease reduction.
Then there's also this:
> Researchers also found that those who stopped climbing stairs daily during the study showed a 32% higher risk of cardiovascular disease compared to those who never reported climbing stairs.
So I guess if we ever move we're actually worse off in the long run
Careful about inferring causality here.
What kind of active person suddenly stops being active? You presumably don't want to be that kind of person... but the stopping isn't necessarily a causal factor of the cardiovascular events (and the initial "being active" seems still far less likely to be a causal factor).
Mine has an elevator though, installed in the main lightwell :) it's so appealing to not walk all the time...
