Walking reduces leg artery disease

Source: Reuters Health

Summary:

Recent study shows that walking at least 3 times per week can significantly slow the decline of people suffering from peripheral artery disease (PAD). PAD is a condition that involves hardening of blood vessels,

143 PAD patients who walked at least 3 times each week were compared to 274 who walked less and were followed for 36 months.

Past reports supported exercise rehab programs and improved treadmill performances, but the benefits remained unclear.

Comment: Walking in supervised rehabilitation programs for patients with diseases are common to show health improvements and should be followed by people at home and on their own as well.
