Middle-aged men who are active and can complete more than 40 push-ups at a time were found to have lower risk of cardiovascular disease outcomes as compared to those who could barely do 10 push-ups at a time in a latest study, published in JAMA Network Open.According to the study, men who are able to do more than 40 push-ups had a 96 percent reduced risk of CVD events, compared with those who were able to do less than 10 push-ups. The study also said that your push-up capacity was more strongly associated with lower incidence of cardiovascular disease events than was aerobic capacity as estimated by a submaximal treadmill exercise test.
The study was conducted over 10 years. The team of researchers from Harvard University analysed health data from 1,104 active male firefighters whose mean age was 39.6, for the study. 37 CVD-related outcomes were reported in the ten year span.
"Our findings provide evidence that push-up capacity could be an easy, no-cost method to help assess cardiovascular disease risk in almost any setting," said lead author Justin Yang at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in the US.
The researchers also said that the results are not generalisable to women; men of other ages or who lead a sedentary live or are less active.
Healing Herbs For Heart
Your diet plays an instrumental role in your overall heart health. A diet rich in trans-fats, ultra-processed fat could result in fatty deposits in blood vessels. One should include foods that are loaded with omega-3 fatty acids and fibre. Foods like nuts and fish are rich in omega 3 fatty acids help increase elasticity of blood vessels and keep bad cholesterol at bay. Fibre-rich foods like leafy greens and whole grains help maintain healthy cholesterol levels and manage diabetes.

EFFECTIVE WAY TO GET YOUR HERPES CURE/MEDICINE ORDER FROM DR. ODUNGA HERBAL REMEDIES
My name is Hailey Garcia and I am from New Jersey. My herpes virus turned to war after 2 years of living with it. I have tried different procedures to cure my herpes but to no avail. Most people think herpes is only a minor skin irritation of which herpes has long term effects on health and passes through the bloodstream and can be easily contracted through sexual intercourse. I knew I had herpes from the first day I started feeling itchy in my pubic area and the pain was very unbearable. I couldn’t stand it anymore. After 2 years of trying other means to get rid of it, I had to contact Doctor Odunga to help me with a permanent cure. I saw his email and whats-app number from a testimony I read online from a lady who was also helped by him in curing infertility problems, I had faith and contacted him. He assured me of his work and I ordered his herbal medicine. Within 5 days, I didn’t feel any pain anymore and within 2 weeks, my skin was all cleared and smooth. I am very grateful to you sir and I write this testimony as others have done to bring those having faith to you sir. If you have herpes or other similar disease and you want it cured, kindly contact Doctor Odunga, Whats-App (wa.me/+2348167159012) OR Email odungaspelltemple@gmail.com
