🌿 Health Hack: Tennis – The Lifespan Mega-Booster 🎾

Did you know that playing tennis could serve up nearly a decade of extra life?

According to the Copenhagen City Heart Study, tennis players can add around 9.7-years to their life compared to their sedentary counterparts.

Some of the other top sports included:

  • Badminton – 6.2 extra years

  • Soccer – 4.7  extra years

  • Cycling – 3.7  extra years

  • Swimming – 3.4  extra years

  • Jogging – 3.2  extra years

This observational study, involving 8577 participants over 25 years, found that sports with social interactions, like tennis, significantly impact longevity.

So, grab a racket, find a partner, and hit the court to rally for a longer, healthier life! 🎾
