We already know all this, but showing it statistically is always
good. As also expected, plenty of walking along with a well managed
weight are the two best things that one can do.
My father lived from diagnosis at age 57 through 86 by pretty well
living those two realities. He made a point to put time daily into
his garden. It does not sound like much but all your muscles are
gently worked doing this.
In fact, it is long overdue to revisit our assumptions on exercise.
Progressive training serves no purpose most of our lives. It is to
reach a necessary standard that this is done. Otherwise a standard
set is valuable to sustain that standard and the closer to whole body
the better. That is why swimming is so good.
May 2, 2013 —
Blood clots in the legs or lungs (deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary
embolism) kill an American about every 5 minutes. Adopting seven
simple lifestyle steps could help reduce your risk of these
potentially deadly blood clots, according to research presented at
the American Heart Association's Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and
Vascular Biology 2013 Scientific Sessions.
In a large, long-term
study, researchers followed 30,239 adults who were 45 years or older
for 4.6 years. Researchers rated participants' heart health using the
seven health indicators from the American Heart Association Life's
Simple 7. They include being physically active, avoiding smoking,
following a healthy diet, maintaining a healthy body mass index, and
controlling blood sugar levels, blood pressure and cholesterol.
They then compared the incidence of blood clots among those whose
heart health rated as inadequate, average and optimum.
Among participants
with optimum health, the risk of blood clots was 44 percent lower
than those with inadequate health. Those with average health had a 38
percent lower risk.
Maintaining ideal
levels of physical activity and body mass index were the most
significant lifestyle changes related to lower risk of blood clots.
