Cardiologists say one of the simplest ways to protect artery health after 50 is surprisingly effective: regular walking. This low-impact habit helps improve circulation, reduce blood pressure, support healthy cholesterol levels, and strengthen the cardiovascular system over time. Experts emphasize that consistency matters more than intensity, making short daily walks an accessible tool for long-term heart health.
According to Dr. Randy Gould, “Women over age 50 should aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity (such as brisk walking) or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity per week.” He notes that breaking this into shorter daily sessions, like a 15–20 minute walk, can still deliver meaningful cardiovascular benefits and help reduce artery disease risk.
