Save Your Heart by Keep Active & Drink


Keeping physically active and drinking in moderation is the formula for reduce heart disease attack. There’s a fact that people who didn't drink and weren't physically active had a 30% to 49% higher risk of developing heart disease than people who drank, exercised or did both.
Being physically active was associated with a significantly lower risk for fatal heart disease and dying from any other cause compared with being physically inactive among both men and women. In addition, drinking was associated with a lower risk of fatal heart disease than not drinking. Moderate drinking reduced the risk of death among men and women. However, among heavy drinkers the risk of dying was similar to non-drinkers, the researchers found. Among people who were physical active, those who didn't drink had a 30% to 31% higher risk of fatal heart disease compared with moderate drinkers. However, among people who didn't drink but had a moderate or high level of physical activity, their risk of fatal heart disease was reduced up to 33 % compared to those who didn’t exercise or drink.

People who had at least one drink a week and were physically active had a 44% to 50% lower risk of dying from heart disease than those who were physically inactive and didn't drink.
Moreover, people who were physically active and had a drink a week had up to a 33% lower risk of dying from any cause.

"Physical activity and a moderate alcohol intake can lower the risk of fatal heart disease and all-cause mortality. But neither physical activity alone nor alcohol intake can completely reverse the increased risk associated with physical inactivity and alcohol abstention. Thus, both physical activity and alcohol intake are important to lower the risk of fatal heart disease and all-cause mortality," the researchers concluded.

Moderate alcohol intake reduces the risk of heart disease. Moderate physical activity does so, too, and even more powerfully. Combine the two, and the benefits are additive.
Practices that promote health are most powerful when combined into an overall pattern of healthful living.

You can reduce your risk of heart disease and premature death from any cause, dramatically by combing regular physical activity with not just moderate alcohol intake, but a healthful dietary pattern, effective management of stress, avoidance of tobacco, and adequate sleep of course.

So what do you think? Drink or not? Does physical activity or not? It’s all up to you.
