Exercise reduces risk of cardiac gene
Do not blame your genes. People willing to suffer from heart disease, do not understand when you exercise regularly. The finding comes from a study of 684 healthy female twins, of which 52 pairs of identical twins. Jerry R. Greenfield, MD, St. Vincents Hospital in Sydney, Australia, and colleagues, the Twins as a marker of arterial stiffness. A high score implies a high risk of heart disease and death from heart disease. Some of the twins were genetic factors that predispose to high risk of heart disease. But if done regularly, your heart disease risk was not higher than normal people.Monozygotic twins who differ in different arterial stiffness also in body fat distribution. The most interesting finding of this study is that twins high genetic risk, regular physical
activity, leisure time [arterial stiffness] values ​​reduced to values ​​not different lowgeneticrisk twins, Greenfield said in a statement. This is not the only interesting conclusions. these people apple-shaped fat around the waist have a higher risk of heart disease than those who are pear-shaped, with a focus on fat below the waist.For the first time the results of the study provide a direct link between fat accumulation and abdominal arterial stiffness, said Greenfield. The study also shows a greater arterial stiffness in smokers. The findings appear in the July 16 issue of the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
