Need to open up a can of “Love Handles-B-Gone”? <\/span>

<\/span>
Well, <\/span>a new study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association<\/i> suggests that becoming active at a young age, and then keeping it up, can indeed thwart your mid-life love handles!!<\/span>

Here’s what they did in this study<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Back in the mid-1980’s, they included at 3,554 men and women between the ages of 18 and 30 into the study. Periodically, over the next 20 years, they reported on their physical activity levels.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
How did the MEN do?<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
Men who were “habitually” highly active over that time put on about 6 fewer pounds, on average, than men who exercised consistently but at relatively low levels. They also saw their waistlines expand by about an inch less.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What about the WOMEN? <\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
And among women, the most active gained 1.5 fewer inches around the middle and 13 fewer pounds.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n


<\/span><\/div>\n
“It’s the maintenance of the physical activity that’s the important thing<\/i>,” said lead researcher Dr. Arlene L. Hankinson, of Northwestern University in Chicago.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“It’s not so much about achieving some dramatically high activity level, It’s about maintaining a level of daily physical activity over time<\/i>.”<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

They say that the key to 90% of success is just showing up! Well this is true for activity as well. Apparently, research science has verified our common sense wisdom … just be consistent.  And all THAT means is that<\/span> adults get at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise — like brisk walking — on five days out of the week. <\/span><\/div>\n
That’s it!! <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, these researchers found that the men who consistently got 30 minutes of exercise on five days out of the week<\/b><\/i> gained about 4 fewer pounds than their less-active counterparts. Women with that activity level gained about 10 fewer pounds than women who got less exercise.<\/span><\/div>\n
