Step Up to Health

(Photo by Plankfad)
If you want a long life, try taking the stairs. 

For the first time since the mid 20th century, heart-related fatalities are on the rise within the under-75 population.  The sedentary life we lead, coupled with the tendency to overeat, is doing a number on our health.  And that number is not a winning one.

Yet studies show that simple steps can be taken to ward off heart disease.  Quite literally.  Go up the down staircase, then down the up staircase, then…  You get the idea.  This can be as preventive “as a 45-minute exercise class.”

So the next time someone holds an elevator door open for you, respond with a hearty "Thanks, but no thanks!"  Then head for the nearest stairwell.
