She recommended engaging in moderate-intensity aerobic exercise for at least 2 hours and 30 minutes per week, or 30 minutes a day, five times a week.

Professor Jung also surprised the audience by sharing a study that found "lying in bed for three weeks can age you by 40 years, reducing cardiopulmonary function by 30%."

Additionally, she emphasized, "Running for just five minutes a day can cut mortality rates in half. It's always better than doing nothing," highlighting the critical importance of aerobic exercise.
