Reuters is reporting on a medical study that indicates Walking helps shed post-baby pounds.
New moms who take walks instead of watching TV may lose those post-pregnancy pounds more easily, according to researchers.
This is the conclusion of a study conducted by Dr. Emily Oken and colleagues at Harvard Medical School in Boston, as published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine (April 2007).
The Harvard study monitored 902 women for a 6-month period after giving birth. The study found that, in general, women who walked at least 30 minutes a day, watched TV less than 2 hours a day, and ate relatively little trans fat were 77 percent less likely to retain 12 pounds or more than women who walked less and watched more TV.
Amazing stuff they’re doing at Harvard these days.
