A 10-week, randomized control study conducted in a wellness center in St. Petersburg, Florida. Adults age 21-65, exercising less than 3 days/week. 56 subjects were randomized to a control or an intervention group. Subjects followed a diet with >30 grams of fiber and <16 grams of saturated fat daily, and were taught to reach 70-85% of their maximum heart rate 5-6 days/week, and to perform strength training 3 days/week, plus were asked to participate in 10-20 minutes of stress management activities daily. The study was designed to determine body composition, maximal aerobic capacity (VO2 max), total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (TC/HDL), and cognition.
