It is worth noting that Benzema moved to Al-Ittihad from Real Madrid in Spain on a free transfer, after a distinguished career with the royal club that lasted 14 years, during which he won the UEFA Champions League 5 times, the Spanish League 4 times, and the King’s Cup once.

A recent scientific study revealed that just 30 minutes of moderate physical activity daily can extend lifespan and improve overall health, according to CNN Economic, citing public health specialists.

The study, conducted on a large sample of the population, showed that even a slight increase in daily physical activity has a significant positive impact on overall health and reduces the risk of chronic diseases.

Researchers explained that simple daily movements, such as brisk walking for 30 minutes or light exercises at home, can contribute to improving heart and respiratory functions, enhancing mental health, and reducing the risk of diseases like diabetes and high blood pressure.

The study noted that these findings come at a time when global rates of physical inactivity are increasing, making it necessary to encourage people to increase their daily activity, even with small steps.

This study emphasizes the importance of incorporating physical activity into daily routines, even in small amounts, as it can have a significant impact on overall health and longevity.
