Never mind taking 7,000 or 10,000 steps every day. According to a new study, everyday activity of at least 50 steps, including climbing stairs, can considerably reduce your risk of heart disease.

More than five flights of stairs are recommended to be climbed each day to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by 20%, according to a study.

The primary causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide are atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), coronary artery disease, and stroke.

Short bursts of high-intensity stair climbing are a time-effective strategy to enhance cardiorespiratory fitness and lipid profile, especially for people who are unable to meet the current physical activity standards.
