The Heart Benefit Of Exercise. by mypulus: 11:49pm On Nov 09, 2020

Exercise is an important factor to lower the risk of heart disease especially when done regularly. Thirty minutes of exercise daily can help you lose weight, improve the body cholesterol, and even lower your blood pressure by as many as six to seven points.

It's easier than you might think to improve your health with exercise. You don't have to jog for an hour a day. The good news is 30 minute of daily vigorous exercise can bring a tremendous change to ones body.

A sedentary lifestyle, where your job and your leisure activities involve little or no physical activity, doubles your risk of dying from heart disease. This is similar to the increased risk you'd have if you smoked, had high cholesterol, or had high blood pressure.

Your heart health improves with just 30 minutes of exercise on most days. Two 15-minute segments of exercise or three 10-minute segments still count as 30 minutes. Just make sure the activity is vigorous enough to raise your heart rate. Try the talk/sing test: If you can't talk while you exercise, you're working too hard. If you can sing, you need to work harder.

What exercise does to the heart

Just as exercise strengthens other muscles in your body, it helps your heart muscle become more efficient and better able to pump blood throughout your body. This means that the heart pushes out more blood with each beat, allowing it to beat slower and keep your blood pressure under control.

When you exercise regularly, your body's tissue (including the heart) does a better job of pulling oxygen from your blood. This allows your heart to work better under stress and keeps you from getting winded during high-intensity activities.

Physical activity also allows better blood flow in the small blood vessels around your heart. Clogs in these arteries can lead to heart attacks. There's also evidence that exercise helps your body make more branches and connections between these blood vessels, so there are other routes for your blood to travel if narrow arteries or fatty deposits block the usual path.

Exercise also increases your levels of HDL cholesterol, the "good" cholesterol that lowers heart disease risk by flushing the artery-clogging LDL or "bad" cholesterol out of your system.

Along with lowering your risk for heart disease, exercise:

·      Keeps your weight down.

·      Improves your mood.

·      Lowers your risk for some types of cancer.

·      Improves your balance.

·      Reduces your risk of osteoporosis by increasing your bone mass.

·      Gives you more energy.

·      Helps you sleep better.
