Good morning to everybody,
Here is one more proof of how important is being physically active. An Italian university – University degli Studi in Naples, has conducted a study with 168 men and women of about 70 years of age. All the participants had suffered a heart attack and had gone through an angioplasty intervention before starting the study. This research has shown that elderly people who maintain themselves physically active after a heart attack have a better survival rate than those who are not physically active. The results of the study showed clearly that physical activity helped in the recovery.
Don’t wait until you have a heart attack. Start being physically active as soon as possible.
Good luck and good day to all of you.

For someone who has already had a heart attack, regular physical activity adds two or three years to life, compared to those who don’t exercise. And it reduces risk of a subsequent fatal heart attack by 25%.
