That is what the cardiologist told me last week. She said that one of the best exercises is to go for a brisk walk for an hour/3 times a week.
Furthermore, she said that junk food and sugar was a health hazard and most people don't realise how much they are eating on a daily basis. Food industrials share a blame as their labels are not also clear. No Sugar Added doesn't mean that it is sugar free.

Yes, that is a good article. Thanks for citing it.

Incidentally, one of the things I am doing right now (coincidentally) is running Norton Internet Security. Among other things, this finds tracking cookies and deletes them.

I saw the cardiologist yesterday and she reiterated her advise ; Walking a few times a week and seriously reducing sugar intake will help to promote a healthier heart. Regular, gentle exercise and not yo yo dieting is a far better choice than going overboard with strenuous exercise. This advise was for seniors and people who have weight problems.
