keryxI could be too optimistic here, but check out the South Beach Diet email newsletter that occasionally shows up in my Hotmail account:A recent study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association shows that physical fitness may have a greater impact on heart health than being overweight or obese.
The study followed 906 at-risk women over a period of four years and found that women with low activity levels were more likely to develop heart problems regardless of their weight. Women who stayed at least moderately active had fewer incidences of heart attack, stroke, and other heart-disease-related problems. This research suggests increased physical activity may be an ideal recommendation for those who are at risk of developing coronary heart disease.
These findings provide yet another reason to add at least 30 minutes of exercise to your daily routine. Not only does exercise promote weight loss, build strength, and increase stamina, it may also prevent heart disease so you can live a longer, happier life. .
That's right, even the diet gurus will admit (with no additionaly yapping about weightloss) that exercise is more important. Rock.
