"How to Avoid Heart Attack Risk and Cheat Death with Only 60 Seconds Exercise"

Don't fear the Reaper. Learn how to avoid heart attack risk with one of the keys to a long and healthy life.

Little and Often is Key

The scientists and health experts are excited. The secret of how to live longer has been revealed.

So what got the guys in the lab coats all a flutter?

Well, it seems walking for just 60 seconds can help slash the risk of heart attack or coronary death.

This breakthrough comes after a study of more than 1,000 elderly people showed that exercise, taken little and often, is one of the keys to a long and healthy life.

These finding are important when official UK guidelines say people should do 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week - but a whopping 75% of all Britons fail to reach this target!

Sedentary Lifestyle Kills

Failing to exercise has seen Britain's obesity rate rocket from 2.7% in 1972 to 25% today. The same is also happening in the United States, where fat gain continues to climb at alarming rates, despite the percentage of calorie consumption from fat falling from 40% to 30%.

The bottom line? Sedentary lifestyle kills.

Dr Thomas Buford agrees. He is the lead researcher of the University of Florida Institute of Ageing. His finding led him to say:

"It is becoming increasingly evident, that encouraging individuals to reduce the amount of time they spend being sedentary may have important cardiovascular benefits."

Leading UK obesity expert Dr Ian Campbell celebrated the latest US research. He said:

"This is great news. The message is clear - to get out and about and be busy."
