The Heart Truth: Exercise For A Healthy Heart

 
Valentine's day is next week, and when it comes to your loved ones, the health of the heart is extremely important.

Heart disease is the #1 cause of death in the United States, according to Center for Disease Control (CDC).
 
A sedentary (inactive) lifestyle is the biggest cause of heart disease. Fortunately, this is something we can change.

Regular exercise can:

• Strengthen your heart and cardiovascular system.
• Lower blood pressure.
• Improve muscle tone and strength.
• Strengthen bones.
• Improve oxygen circulation in the body.
• Increase your stamina, so you can do more without being fatigued, or short or breath.
• Help control your weight and aid in weight loss.
• Reduce stress, tension, anxiety and depression.
• Improve sleep.
• Make you feel more relaxed and rested.

There is not a single pill in the world that can give you all these benefits. Regular exercise can help you dodge a dangeorus bullet - a heart attack and potentially save your life.

A structured, supervised exercise program can improve your health and the quality of your life. ALWAYS check with your doctor before you start exercising, especially if you have any medical conditions and / or take prescription medications.
