Scientists also added that this exercise does not refer to muscle exercises in the gyms, but only mild, moderate activities. One week, middle-aged people only need 2.5 hours to practice. The positive relationship between these activities and cardiovascular health can cause many people to change their habits.

In a study published in Circulation, those who exercised 2.5 hours a week had better health indicators. Their signs of inflammation in the blood decreased. And thereby, reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. Even beginners at the age of 40 have noticed positive changes in their health, compared to those who do not practice.

This conclusion does not change even when researchers consider other factors, such as obesity and smoking. Dr Mark Hamer, of College London College, the head of the study, said: 'We should encourage many people to be active - for example, walk instead of the bus. You can gain health benefits from such moderate activities at any time in your life. '

Maureen Talbot of the British Heart Foundation, which funded the study, also continued to confirm that exercise has a major impact on the heart health of middle-aged people. Being active is a great way to have a healthy heart.
