As many of us know, a little exercise can go a long way in promoting good health. Recently a study from the University of Iowa suggests as little as five minutes of running could benefit your heart health.
From ½ mile runners to marathon runners, this study determined even moderate running can greatly reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Researchers found benefits from running as little at 5-10 minutes a day to three times that amount.
This study is more encouraging for those of us who are not serious runners, but are at risk for heart attacks or strokes. Remember when starting a new exercise routine moderation is key!
