More on Cardio


Cardio can turn back the clock

Research has shown that cardiovascular exercise not only can increase a person's longevity , but it can also reverse signs of aging. One study published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine concluded that by maintaining aerobic fitness through middle age and beyond, a person can delay aging by up to 12 years. A person can also stay independent longer when they become older. The old saying "use it or lose it" is definitely true when it comes to cardiovascular exercise. By exercising, an older adult can maintain a better level of functioning and delay aging-related disabilities.
