Increased levels of exercise can reduce but not eliminate the risk of heart disease in overweight and obese women, a U.S. study finds.

The researchers analyzed data from 38,987 women who took part in the recently completed Women's Health Study. At the start of the study in 1992, information was gathered about the women's height and weight, the average amount of time per week they were physically active, other health habits, and medical history. The women were then followed for an average of 10.9 years.

Inflammation plays a huge role in heart disease and many other illnesses and diseases. I got a vitamin formula yesterday that targets inflammation. People who have mitral valve prolapse or mitral valve regurgitation really need to be on something like that. There's also an herbal formula, but I'm starting with this first.
