A LITTLE EXERCISE GOES A LONG WAY



So, how little exercise can you do that would reduce your risk of diabetes and breast cancer? Wayne Westcott, Ph.D., fitness research director for the South Shore YMCA in Quincy, MA reports that moderate exercise, meaning breaking into a sweat once a week, can lower the risk of diabetes by 30%. An hour of walking a day can lower the risk of breast cancer by 20% and three hours of brisk walking a week can cut the risk of heart disease by 40%.

 A little exercise anyone?
