According to recent research, frequent exercise to sweat is known to lower the risk of
stroke in middle-aged to elderly. Compared to
people who never exercise, people who work up a sweat at lower risk.
"A healthy diet, a healthy weight, exercising regularly
and avoiding bad habits like smoking and drinking alcohol can reduce the risk
of stroke by 80 percent. Meanwhile, the most important aspect of the exercise
is to be done," said study author Michelle McDonnell, as reported by U.S.
News (18/07).
According to McDonnell, exercise can reduce the risk of
stroke by boosting blood vessel health. Indirectly it also lowers the risk of
high blood pressure and obesity.
This study was conducted with 27,000 people following the
Americans starting in 2003 to 2007. Participants were aged 45 years or older at
the start of the study and had no history of stroke never experienced before.
During this study several cases of stroke occurred in participants.
Approximately 3.1 percent of those who diligently exercise
group experienced a stroke, compared with 3.3 percent of people who only
exercise one to three times a week, and 3.6 percent in the group that did not
exercise.
After making observations and statistics by eliminating
other factors, researchers found that a group of people who exercise often have
a 20 percent lower risk of stroke than those who never exercise.
