A study reveals the easiest way to

save your heart from diseases

An international research team has found that just three minutes a day of moderate

activity may significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in older people.

The study :

was based on an analysis of data from 24,139 participants from the UK

Biobank, with an average age of 62 years, who wore tracking devices to monitor

their physical activity levels during the period between 2013 and 2015.

Researchers from the United Kingdom and Australia, in collaboration with

the McKinsey Wearables Centre, focused in particular on people who do not

exercise regularly, discovering that casual daily activities, such as preparing home

meals, cleaning, gardening :

or even shopping, can provide significant health benefits.For the heart.

The results showed that

• participants who were keen to engage in moderate-intensity daily activities

• for at least three minutes a day had a significantly

• reduced risk of heart attacks or strokes.

The researchers also noted differences between the sexes, as it was found that

women generally practice these casual activities more than men which

may partly explain the differences in heart disease rates between the sexes.

The study found that :

• the benefits increase with the duration and intensity of these daily activities.

• The more time allocated to movement and activity during the day

• even if it is just frequent standing or short walking, the better

the heart health indicators.

These results :

provide a practical solution for elderly people who may find it difficult to adhere to

intensive exercise programs, as they prove that maintaining heart health does not

necessarily require going to gyms, but rather can be achieved

by including simple movements in the daily routine.
