Heart Disease Treatments-Exercise for A Healthy Heart

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

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!
