Science Daily reports today that overweight people who lose a moderate amount of weight get an immediate benefit in the form of better heart health. This is according to a study conducted at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. And the heart improvements happen whether that weight is shed by eating less or exercising more.
The study’s senior author is Sándor J. Kovács, Ph.D, M.D., director of the Cardiovascular Biophysics Laboratory and professor of medicine. "If individuals want to do something that's good for their heart, then my message to them is lose weight by the method they find most tolerable," he says. He also adds "They're virtually guaranteed that it will have a salutary effect on their cardiovascular system."
