Taking the stairs is often a daily habit associated with keeping one's body healthy. The study, led by researchers from Tulane University, found that climbing more than five flights of stairs daily could reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by 20%. Furthermore, the researchers also found that people who stopped climbing stairs daily during the study showed a 32% higher risk of cardiovascular disease compared to those who never reported climbing stairs. Previous studies have also found health benefits in climbing stairs daily. Another study, led by The North American Menopause Society, showed that stair climbing lowers blood pressure but also builds leg strength, especially in postmenopausal women with oestrogen deficiencies who are more susceptible to vascular and muscle problems.
