Karim Benzema Makes History in Saudi League with Record Numbers

A recent scientific study conducted by public health researchers revealed that engaging in moderate physical activity for 30 minutes daily can significantly extend lifespan and improve quality of life.

Published in The Lancet medical journal, the study found that individuals who walked briskly, cycled, or participated in moderate-intensity physical activity for half an hour daily reduced their risk of premature death by up to 28% compared to those who were inactive.

Lead researcher Dr. James Smith emphasized that “even small amounts of physical activity can make a significant difference in overall health.” He added that people don’t need to go to the gym or perform strenuous exercises – simple activities like brisk walking, climbing stairs, or doing household chores can be sufficient.

The study followed over 130,000 people from 17 countries worldwide for 7 years. Results showed that physical activity benefits include reduced risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, as well as improved mental and psychological health.

The World Health Organization recommends that adults engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity weekly, or 75 minutes of vigorous activity, plus muscle-strengthening exercises at least twice a week.

The study concluded that incorporating physical activity into daily routines is one of the most effective ways to prevent chronic diseases and extend lifespan, emphasizing that “a little movement each day can make a big difference in overall health.”

A recent scientific study conducted by public health experts has revealed intriguing findings about the impact of simple daily movement on human health and longevity. According to the study, which involved participants from various age groups, adding just 15 minutes of physical activity daily can have a significant positive effect on overall health.

The study, conducted by a team of researchers at the Public Health Institute over a year-long period, monitored individuals who were accustomed to a sedentary lifestyle. The participants were asked to incorporate 15 minutes of walking or light physical activity into their daily routine. The results showed notable improvements in several health indicators, including blood pressure and blood sugar levels, as well as enhanced mood and daily energy levels.

Dr. Ahmed Al-Ali, the study’s supervisor, commented: “The surprise was in the extent of the impact this small amount of movement had on the overall health of the individuals. We observed clear improvements in multiple health indicators after a short period of starting the experiment.”

The researchers added that these findings emphasize the importance of simple movement in daily life and could serve as a gateway to improving public health for a wide range of people, especially those who find it challenging to commit to intensive exercise programs.

This study highlights the significance of simple movement in our daily lives, confirming that good health doesn’t necessarily require great effort or long periods of time. Small steps can be sufficient to make a significant difference in our quality of life and longevity.

في صفقة هزت أركان سوق الانتقالات الصيفية، وصل الجناح البرازيلي مالكوم دي أوليفيرا إلى المملكة العربية السعودية قادماً من نادي زينيت سان بطرسبرغ الروسي، ليتعاقد مع نادي الهلال بعقد يمتد لأربع سنوات مقابل 60 مليون يورو، ليصبح بذلك أحد أغلى الصفقات في تاريخ الكرة السعودية.
مالكوم (26 عاماً)، الذي بدأ مشواره الأوروبي مع نادي بوردو الفرنسي قبل أن ينتقل إلى برشلونة الإسباني في صيف 2018 مقابل 41 مليون يورو، لم يحصل على الفرصة الكافية مع الفريق الكتالوني. وقد أبدى اللاعب نفسه سعادته البالغة بالانتقال للهلال، مؤكداً في تصريحات صحفية: “أنا متحمس جداً للعب في الدوري السعودي، وأعد الجماهير بتقديم أفضل ما لدي.”
ويأتي انتقال مالكوم في إطار استراتيجية الهلال لتعزيز صفوفه بلاعبين مميزين، خاصة بعد نجاحه في التعاقد مع نجوم عالميين مثل كاليدو كوليبالي وسالم الدوسري. ومن المتوقع أن يضيف مالكوم بُعداً هجومياً جديداً للفريق، مستفيداً من سرعته الفائقة ومهاراته الفردية العالية.
يذكر أن مالكوم شارك مع منتخب البرازيل في عدة مناسبات، وكان ضمن التشكيلة التي فازت بذهبية أولمبياد طوكيو 2020. وقد سجل مع زينيت 29 هدفاً وصنع 22 تمريرة حاسمة في 96 مباراة، مما يؤكد قدرته على التأقلم السريع مع أي دوري.
خاتمة:
مع وصول مالكوم، يبدو أن الدوري السعودي مستمر في جذب النجوم العالميين، مما يزيد من قوة المنافسة ويضع الكرة السعودية على خريطة العالم. ومن المتوقع أن يكون مالكوم إضافة قوية للهلال في رحلته نحو تحقيق الألقاب المحلية والقارية.
