According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, taking the stairs is a good way to include physical activity in daily life.

Using the stairs requires little additional time, no wardrobe change, and few additional costs because building code requires stairs. If your building or community hospital or family health center has a staircase, why not start using it now?
