#badalcohol

Adults who walked briskly for exercise, drank alcohol in moderation, did not smoke, and were not obese had only 50 percent of the risk of heart failure compared to those who did not adhere to those lifestyle factors, according to a recent study. Walking at a pace of two miles or more per hour and burning at least 845 calories per week with other leisure activities were found to be beneficial. Alcohol intake of one drink or more pre week (but not more than one of two a day) was also helpful when combined with other factors.
