The American Heart Association has outlined the first evidence-based guidelines for women to combat and prevent cardiovascular disease,

according to CNN.com's Health site.

The new prevention guidelines aimed at women urge at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity most days; quitting smoking; and that high-risk women receive cholesterol-lowering drugs, preferably statins, and take omega 3 and folic acid supplements.

"Overwhelming evidence suggests that [cardiovascular disease] can be prevented in both women and men," said Dr. Lori Mosca, who helped write the guidelines and is director of preventive cardiology at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center.

The Fitness Studio is glad to welcome Jennifer R. Adams to their fitness training team. Jen is a 29-year-old Cooper-certified physical fitness specialist, a teacher, and an instructor in First Aid, CPR, and Life Guard training.

A graduate of SUNY Brockport college with a BA in Physical Education, she also graduated from St. John Fisher college with a masters in Education Administration.

A New York State native, Jen's hobbies (when not training or teaching) are fitness and outdoors activities, spending time with her labrador retrievers, and "watching the sun set."
