A recent study recommends aerobic exercise for older adults with type 2 diabetes. Cardio, it says, can improve the elasticity in their arteries and reduce risk of heart disease and stroke.
Dr. Kenneth Madden, a geriatric specialist at the University of British Columbia, examined how increased activity might affect stiffness of the arteries.
Strength Training Lowers Heart Disease Risks, Aerobics Eases Pain
Strength training helps lower heart disease and stroke risk factors, while all-around exercise reduces neck and shoulder pain, suggests a new study.

Dr. Madden added: "There was an impressive drop in arterial stiffness after just three months of exercise. In that time we saw a 15 to 20 per cent reduction."
Dr. Beth Abramson, spokesperson for the Heart and Stroke Foundation, further laid stress on the significance of lifestyle factors on heart health, especially in concern with the aging population.

Poor Aerobic Fitness Linked to Fatty Liver Disease
A new study has linked low aerobic capacity to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and suggested that the resulting liver problems play a crucial step developing obesity-related illnesses.
