Walking is one of the everyday activities seemed normal. In fact, walking is one way to avoid the deadly stroke, especially for women. , A new study reveals.

Women who said they walked faster, had a 37 percent lower risk of having a stroke than those who did not work. Women who reported walking at least two hours per day each week with varying speeds successfully reduced the risk of stroke by 30 percent, says a study published online in the journal American Heart Association stroke.

Meanwhile, a physical activity lowers the risk of stroke, other studies focus to examine what types of exercise might be most beneficial for women. "The study really reveals, to walk with a certain time and in particular to walk fast," said study leader from the Harvard School of Public Health in Boston, USA.

What is meant by walking fast is when one walks, so he is still unable to speak. "However, do not sing," he added.

The study involved 39,000 women workers in good health aged 45 years or older. They are regularly asked about physical activity. During 12 years, a total of 579 women suffered a stroke.

Besides walking, the researchers also observed the activities such as running, swimming and cycling. However, the researchers found no link between these activities by reducing the risk of stroke.

The researchers suggest that perhaps the number of participants is not sufficient to know the difference. Or, mngkin also, the activity in the medium stage, more effective to reduce high blood pressure, which is the main factor of stroke.

"I think the most evocative is the phase of activity is being able to effectively reduce stroke," said Dr. Anand Rohatgi, a Cardiologist from the University of Texas Medical Center in Dallas.

In addition to high blood pressure, risk factors of stroke include heart disease, type 2 diabetes and obesity. "These things are directly related to stroke can be improved by physical activity. Everything will be in touch," he explained.

Dr. Steben Tracy, director of Saint Luke's Muriel I. Kauffman Women's Heart Center in Kansas says, the study can help people to see the benefits of exercise to stabilize blood pressure. "It takes hard work, but by no means should be done with expensive," he said.
