Want to boost your heart health? Running marathons or doing 1intense 2workouts aren’t the only way. Simple 3household chores may be all you need.

“Our study shows that just about any movement counts.”

Steve Nguyen is the lead author of a new study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association.

They also had a 30 percent lower risk of 11stroke. And, a 62 percent lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease. Researchers say the study could change how health care providers and caregivers discuss physical activity with patients.
