Exercise and healthy eating behavior together provide the best protection against cardiovascular diseases
Briefly

Researchers at the University of Jyväskylä have identified that women with unhealthy eating habits and low physical activity experience greater central body fat and higher low-grade inflammation, increasing cardiovascular disease risk, especially post-menopause. The study examined health behaviors, such as eating and exercise, revealing that disordered eating correlates with visceral fat accumulation in the midsection, further elevating inflammation risk. The combination of healthy eating and exercise offers protective benefits against inflammation, underscoring the importance of lifestyle choices during and after menopause.
The study highlights that women with disturbed eating behaviors and low physical activity have increased visceral fat, which correlates with higher low-grade inflammation risk.
Hannamari Lankila emphasizes the strong link between visceral fat accumulation and low-grade inflammation, signaling increased risks for metabolic diseases.
