Improved Physical Fitness Lowers Your Risk of Death
Posted by Sean on May 20, 2009
Yes, you read that right. Death. All-cause death from coronary heart disease and cardiovascular disease. There is a new study that suggests increasing your cardio respiratory fitness can lower your risk of death, plain and simple.
Physical fitness is typically expressed as cardio respiratory fitness (CRF) and is assessed by exercise tolerance testing…
Compared with participants with high CRF, those with low CRF had a 70 percent higher risk for all-cause death and a 56 percent higher risk for CHD/CVD events
It doesn’t get any simpler than that folks. Do you want to live longer? Or die sooner?
So once again I ask you, why are you not exercising to improve your level of fitness?
Carpe Diem

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but no matter how well you take care of yourself with lifestyle choices (including diet and exercise), your risk of death remains 100%.
