New research reveals that walking in longer, uninterrupted bouts of
10-15 minutes significantly lowers cardiovascular disease risk--by up
to two-thirds compared to shorter strolls. Scientists from the
University of Sydney and Universidad Europea found that even people
who walk less than 8,000 steps daily can see major heart health
benefits simply by changing how they walk. Those who took their steps
in one or two continuous sessions had lower rates of heart attacks,
strokes, and death.

Researchers at UC Davis discovered that adding a banana to your
smoothie may drastically reduce the absorption of flavanols --
powerful compounds linked to heart and brain health. The culprit is
polyphenol oxidase (PPO), an enzyme abundant in bananas that
interferes with flavanol availability. In experiments, banana-based
smoothies cut flavanol absorption by 84% compared to berry-based ones.
