A recent research has suggested that twenty minutes of daily moderate to vigorous exercise in early old age may best stave off major heart disease, including heart failure, in late old age (eighty plus).
Twenty minutes of daily moderate to vigorous exercise in early old age (70-75) may best stave off major heart disease, including heart failure, in late old age (80+), suggests research published online in the journal Heart.
Researchers in Italy found that men aged 70 to 75 who regularly garden, cycle or take other exercise for that time are 52 per cent less likely to get cardiovascular disease compared to the inactive.
