Benefits of climbing stairs

1. Strengthening cardiopulmonary function

Based on a study of 13,500 people, climbing 100 stairs a day reduces mortality by 20%. For 12 women with sedentary lifestyles, climbing up to 200 stairs a day for two months improved cardiopulmonary endurance and reduced the risk of cardiovascular disease by one-third.

2. Helps strengthen lower body muscles and improve blood circulation

- Since 70% of the capillaries throughout the body are distributed in the lower body muscles, strengthening the lower body muscles helps improve blood circulation. - The stronger the leg muscles, the better they function as blood pumps inside the body, making it easier for blood that has moved downward to return to the heart.

3. Prevention of knee arthritis

- Climbing stairs helps strengthen muscles and improve overall balance, thereby supporting knee health. - For prevention of arthritis or early-stage arthritis, it is helpful if done within comfortable limits without overexertion.
