Owing to the strenuous life that most women lead nowadays, heart-related diseases are becoming more common. Combined with unhealthy eating habits, lack of exercise is one of the primary causes for a rise in obesity, heart attacks, blockages, et al.

But, the way to counter this is pretty simple. A mere 30 minutes of exercise each day can minimize the chances of these illnesses. Jogging, swimming, bicycling, aerobics and such, are particularly useful when it comes to fitness.
