Two studies offer health advice for women
There are two good pieces of good women’s health information to share.
A study of 100,000 women found that those identified as ‘optimistic’ were 14 percent less likely to die during the study’s first eight years than pessimists. The Women’s Health Initiative study said optimists are ‘master copers’ with strong social networks allowing them to handle stress better.
And here’s one for those who are pressed for time.
Although health experts recommend exercise for 30 minutes a day, five times a week for heart disease prevention, less activity can still reap important benefits. A mere 17 minutes a day of activity cut women’s heart disease risk by 27 percent, according to Brigham Women’s Hospital in Boston.
