Moderate Running Can Reduce Risk of Heart Attack and Stroke

iStock/Thinkstock(NEW YORK) — A new study finds a little bit of activity goes a long way in promoting good health.

From weekend joggers to serious sprinters, a study from the University of lowa determined that even moderate running can profoundly reduce your risk of heart attacks and strokes.

The researchers found similar benefits from running as little five to 10 minutes a day to three times as long. According to the lead researcher, because, “time is one of the strongest barriers to physical activity, this study may motivate more people.”
