Exercise is medicine!

In a study released on 1/10/13 in the British Medical Journal online, a meta analysis has found that in order to reduce the risk of death in people who have already had heart attacks, exercise is as good as many of the commonly used drugs, including ACE inhibitors and statins.

Exercise is also as effective as medication in the prevention of progression of pre diabetes to diabetes.

The really good news is that exercise is SUPERIOR to medication (including antiplatelet agents) in preventing death in patients who have had a stroke.

SO, don’t wait – get out there and start moving!
