How to halve the risk of heart disease and stroke - a simple way

A study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association found that women who were active in daily life—housework, walking, washing dishes, gardening—had a 43% lower risk of cardiovascular disease and a 30% lower risk of stroke compared to those who were active less than two hours a day. For those active more than four hours a day, the risk of death from cardiovascular disease was 62% lower.

Daily physical activity—housework, walking, washing dishes, gardening—reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke. This is reported based on a recent study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association. According to the data, women who were actively moving in daily life had a 43% lower risk of cardiovascular disease and a 30% lower risk of stroke compared to those who moved less than two hours a day. Women who engaged in physical activity for more than four hours a day had a 62% lower risk of death from cardiovascular disease. Researchers emphasize that any movement matters—walking during a phone call or getting up from a chair. The main thing, they say, is to avoid a sedentary lifestyle. Experts remind that adults are recommended at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week, including daily tasks. The publication also mentions that earlier "Kursor" reported on unexpected factors that can trigger a heart attack, including excessive exertion, certain foods, strong emotions, and viruses.
