Brief bursts of activity linked to heart health benefits for women

The article from MSN discusses a study published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology which highlights the benefits of brief bursts of physical activity for women's heart health. The research, involving over 14,000 women, found that engaging in short, vigorous activities like stair climbing or power walking for just one minute can significantly reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases. These activities, when performed regularly, were shown to lower the risk of heart attack or stroke by up to 45% compared to women who did not engage in such activities. The study suggests that even small amounts of high-intensity exercise can be beneficial, particularly for those who might not have the time or inclination for longer workout sessions. This finding underscores the importance of integrating short, intense physical activities into daily routines to enhance heart health.
