  A new study conducted by researchers at a local university found that regular exercise can significantly reduce the risk of developing heart disease. The study, which analyzed data from over 10,000 participants, found that individuals who engaged in at least 150 minutes of moderate exercise per week were 30% less likely to develop heart disease compared to those who did not exercise regularly. The researchers also noted that the benefits of exercise were seen across all age groups and in both men and women. This study highlights the importance of maintaining an active lifestyle for heart health.
