Lifestyle GET MOVING FOR A HEALTHY HEART From Kelli Bonifer Adair County Extension Agent Family & Consumer Sciences If you think you're too old to benefit from regular physical activity, think again. A recent study from the Journal of the American Medical Association found that moderate physical activity is crucial to lower risk of heart disease for postmenopausal women. The studyexamined the effects of a 5-days-a-weekexercise program on the health of 173overweight women ages 50 to 75. Theexercise program included activities such as walking, biking or aerobics for about 45 minutes a day, 5 days a week for one year. At the end of the year, the women had only lost about 3 pounds. But, they had lostnearly 7% of the fat deposits around the middle of their bodies. Less fat around the middle means lower levels of insulin and cholesterol, which translates into less risk for heart disease. Further evidence thateven if you don't lose weight, physical activity can improve your health. ---Kelli Bonifer County Extension Agent for Family & Consumer Sciences Adair County Cooperative Extension Service P.
