Exercise and Heart Disease

A few hours of tennis or a couple miles on a treadmill each week may be the key to prolonging your life if you struggle with heart disease. Norwegian doctors are urging patients with coronary artery disease to get active and participate in sport related activity at least once a week to make sure the disease does not further progress. The study says that exercise once a week, resulted in longer life expectancy rates among both men and women. So an apple a day may keep the doctor away, but swimming, running and sport may be the best strategy for staying healthy.

The study says that,

"Mortality decreased by 30 per cent among women who exercised once a week compared to those who did not exercise at all. For men the corresponding figure was 20 per cent."
