Walk to Better Cholesterol

Your heart welcomes a good walk, finds a study in the International Journal of Sports Medicine. For every 100 calories women burned daily in moderate-intensity workouts (such as brisk walking), they slightly lowered levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol by 1.6 points and raised HDL (good) cholesterol significantly, by 1 point in one year. Women who worked out either more or less vigorously than the moderate-intensity group didn't get the same cholesterol benefit.
