Physical activity to keep check of heart diseases
Advertisement
Exercise and physical activity linked to good heart health for several years now, a study in Heart BMJ Journal reports physical activity was associated with lower rates of incident cardiovascular diseases. A significant risk reduction was present among men and was stronger earlier in late life (70–75 years). In conclusion, increasingly active trajectories of physical activity were associated with lower rates of cardiovascular diseases and overall mortality. Promoting at least 20 min/day of physical activity early in late life seems to provide the greatest cardiovascular benefits.
