  • Find out how much exercise you really need to boost your heart health, even if you're short on time or motivation. Small changes can make a big difference!

The article from MSN discusses a study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology which highlights that even minimal amounts of exercise can significantly benefit cardiovascular health. The research suggests that as little as 10 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per day can reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. This finding challenges the traditional guideline of 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week, indicating that smaller, more manageable bouts of exercise can still yield substantial health benefits. The study emphasizes the importance of any physical activity over none, promoting the idea that every minute counts towards improving heart health. It also notes that while more exercise is better, the key takeaway is that starting with small increments can make a meaningful difference in cardiovascular health outcomes.
