More Exercise, Less Risk of a Heart Attack
One of the best actions you can take for your heart is to get into action, with exercise! A new study of more than 29,000 people from 52 countries provides more evidence that exercise is good for the heart. It linked regular mild exercise to a 13% lower risk of having a heart attack, and regular moderate or strenuous exercise to a 24% lower risk.
Inactivity "is a universal cardiovascular risk factor" the study's lead author said in an interview. "It's easy to reduce the risk of having a heart attack," he continued. "Try to incorporate your activity into your daily life. Take the stairs, and walk when you can."
