Weight also matters in cutting one’s risk of heart disease

Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in women in the United States. Both obesity and inactive lifestyle are modifiable risk factors for coronary heart disease.

Fat cells release chemicals, which can accelerate the hardening of arteries, cause inflammation, and lead to blood clots. Regular exercise program offsets all these potentially heart-damaging processes by meliorating blood vessel function.

So, in this way the body weight also matters in cutting one’s risk of heart disease.
