Although many believe that there is little that can be done when it comes to genetics, it has been proven that simple activities that you can certainly take a few moments a day to do can help.
New research was published in the American Heart Association's journal, and was based on the analysis of information collected from about 500.000 people aged 40 to 69 and their genetic predisposition over a period of six years, and they concluded that only a little more physical activity can preserve heart health by a high of 49 percent in people who have a genetic predisposition to heart attack.
Fast walking
One study found that walking two and a half hours a week reduced the risk of heart attack or stroke by as much as 30 percent, although many experts recommend walking for up to 60 minutes five times a week. Namely, that much is needed to ensure optimal heart health.
Jogging
As with walking, you should start at a slower pace, for example, stretch for five minutes before running. A study by the University of "Stanford School of Medicine" claims that regular running not only helps the heart but also slows down the aging process.
Bike ride
The best advantage of this type of exercise is that you maintain an elevated heart rate for a longer period of time. Experts recommend at least 20 minutes of cycling to get the maximum benefit.
