Heart HealthHeart Fitness Health – Can you walk 3-4 miles per hour without fatigue?
You already know your fitness level impacts your risk for heart disease. A Japanese study has set a minimum level of cardiovascular fitness to reduce heart disease risk. The minimum level of cardiovascular fitness needed to reduce the risk of heart disease is the ability of a 50 year old to walk 3 to 4 miles per hour without feeling fatigue. If you have heart disease, cardiovascular fitness is often measured in supervised conditions with an exercise stress test. The study evaluated over 100,000 individuals and found the least fit participants had a 70% greater risk of cardiovascular disease.
The more fit you become, the more you decrease your risk of heart disease.
Tired of changes that don't last?
All the best,

Where I send people for supplements
Food first, always. When a supplement is worth considering, the front of the bottle is marketing and the supplement facts panel is the actual content. Two bottles at the same price can differ by half in what they deliver.
My dispensary carries practitioner-grade products, most of which aren’t sold direct to consumers, with the reasoning behind each one.
I may earn a commission on dispensary orders.
