To reduce the risk of death, men need to do 300 minutes of exercise per week. For women, 140 minutes is enough. Gap between women and men – researchers evaluate data from 400,000 people. With the right lifestyle, men live longer and women live 22 years longer. Women could use a higher breathing rate, higher metabolism and physical effort for greater health benefits.
