Happy Valentine’s Day: Do Something for Your Heart

Posted on February 14, 2011

It’s Valentine’s Day. Have a great one spending it with people you love. Do something for your own heart too: Exercise.

Exercise is one of those rare things where the hype actually meets reality. Next to not smoking, getting regular physical activity is arguably the best thing you can do for your health.

It lowers the risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, and certain cancers, and also can help control stress and boost mood.
