. . .A recent study published in the medical journal Atherosclerosis found that regular stair-climbing could reduce the risk of certain types of heart disease.

Specifically, the research revealed that climbing five flights of stairs per day could decrease the risk of atherosclerosis — or atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) — by 20%.

The study, conducted by researchers at Tulane University in Louisiana and Peking University in Beijing, analyzed more than 12 years of data from the UK Biobank for 458,860 adults.

The results revealed a lower risk of ASCVD, even among those who were otherwise more susceptible to the disease.

Participants who did not consistently climb stairs exhibited a higher risk of ASCVD than those who regularly did so. (Read more from “Simple Everyday Activity Could Slash Heart Disease Risk by 20%, Study Finds” HERE)

. . .A new study finds that whole-fat dairy — including cheese, whole yogurt and whole milk — can help to prevent heart attacks, stroke and other cardiovascular diseases.

What’s more, the study found that unprocessed red meat “can be part of a healthy diet.”

Those are the surprising results from experts who created a dietary ranking named the Prospective Urban and Rural Epidemiological Healthy Diet Score.

The PURE diet finds six food groups — fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, fish and whole-fat dairy — can lower the risk of heart disease.

And there’s room in a healthy diet for whole grains and unprocessed meats (such as pork and beef, instead of bacon or salami). (Read more from “Surprising Food Is Key to Cutting Heart Disease Risk, Experts Say” HERE)
