Horizontal hula your way to heart health, Brits advise

...Ted Fenske, a cardiologist and associate clinical professor at the University of Alberta, says the BHF's "flashy campaign" is a good way to grab the attention of people otherwise immune to doctors' sermons on exercise."The risk of having a heart attack is slightly higher during intercourse than when one is not having intercourse," he explains."But the risk overall in a 24-hour period, averaged out, is much lower than the person who sits on the couch...

And if you (have intercourse) as a daily exercise, that incremental risk will be reduced substantially."This doesn't mean, however, that Fenske believes sex is the ideal prescription for heart health.He instead sees knocking boots as an "add on" to traditional exercises such as walking or jogging, saying, "intercourse is more likely one of the benefits of being healthy and enjoying life without heart disease."The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada declined to comment on the BHF's billboard campaign.A spokeswoman said the organization could speak about the link between general physical activity and heart health but not the "specifics" of whether or not sex is good for a person's ticker. 1 2 next page Ads by Google #footer_news {display:none;} #footer_news .footer_news_wrapper {padding:5px 10px 0 15px;} #footer_news .footer_news_container {float:left;border:1px solid gray;width:700px;} .footer_news_col {float:left;width:230px;padding...
