Monday's Health Tip: Climb Those Stairs!

Good news for all you people who think you don't have time to exercise. In a recent study, British researchers confirmed that some exercise, even as little as a few minutes a day , is better than nothing.

So what's the easiest way to work up a sweat without investing too much of your precious time? It's as easy as climbing stairs.

Whether you work in an office building or at home, there's most likely no shortage of stairs around you. Just a few trips up and down the stairs every day is enough to improve your cardiovascular health, such as helping to lower bad cholesterol (LDL), increase good cholesterol (HDL), and just overall strengthening up your heart so it beats more efficiently.

So next time you enter your office building and contemplate the elevator, think of your health and consider taking a few extra minutes to huff and puff up the stairs to your desk. Your heart will thank you!
