the bike is really good for the heart!

More and more equipment can keep on biking in cold or rainy weather. This is great, it seems that cycling has never been so good for general health, but also cardiovascular. Both Danish and Swedish studies confirm the benefits of pedaling regularly even when the bicycle is used for short trips or for short walks.

The bike has the odds in Denmark and it succeeds according to Danish relayed published in Circulation. The 45,000 Danes aged 50 to 65 used to ride their bike regularly as a means of transportation or for leisure, lowered their risk by 11 to 18% of developing cardiovascular disease over the 20 year period observed by researchers (1993-2013).

The bike to maintain his heart and arteries

No need to pedal hard to feel the benefits of this practice. 30 minutes by bike week already would offer some protection against coronary heart disease.

For researchers, it should not be concluded that the bike protects against cardiovascular disease, it helps boost cardiovascular health.

If the bike is so good is that it helps fight against physical inactivity and its ills. The second study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association points out that the health benefits of cycling radiate beyond cardiovascular disease. Cyclists, including beginners, are exposed to less risk of obesity, high cholesterol and high blood pressure.
