One effective heart disease prevention strategy and one of the most effective heart disease treatments is exercising.
Research has shown that heart disease risk is significantly reduced with regular exercise. A National Institute of Health panel recommends that adults and children engage in moderate-intensity physcial activity for at least 30 minutes on most days.
What’s even better is that brisk walking also keeps our minds sharp. Recently compiled results of a study involving 72,488 women aged 40 to 65 showed that as little as three hours of brisk walking a week reduced the risk of heart disease by 40%. Even better, 5 hours a week of brisk walking reduced the risk by a whopping 50%!
To get this benefit, your walking rate must be 3 miles an hour. It can’t be a leisurely stroll.
Any woman or man can use this heart disease treatment. Even better, the cost is free! So, make sure you make time in your weekly schedule to grab a pair of good walking shoes, and go for a walk. Your heart will thank you for it!
