"Burn more calories by taking the stairs!! In fact, you'll burn 5 TIMES more calories than taking the lift.", said Dr. Ahmad Syukri Jamaludin. Other than free workout and heart health improvement, it can also save us a great amount of time and reduce energy consumption. It's sometimes much faster to take the stairs, especially during peak times when lifts take a long time to arrive on the floor of our location. It is also good for the environment because it lessens energy consumption; in conjunction of World Environmental Health Day celebration on September 26.
