Heart Disease And Exercise

How Exercise can Help to Prevent Heart Disease

It is a well known fact that regular exercise can lower the risks of developing a heart disease. Even a small amount of exercise can improve the chances to a certain extent. In order to be healthy, many health experts advise that we should have a physical activity no less than an hour per day.

But for many people who have busy schedules, going to the gym and spare an hour every day for exercise seems like an impossible task (not to mention the time needed to commute).

If you really can’t spare an hour a day for exercise, try this solution: “Walking To Work”.
Walking can make you healthier both in the long and short term. It is probably the easiest, cheapest and healthiest form of exercise for most people. If you think you can manage to change some of your normal routine, you should try it.

My personal experience: it takes me 45-50 minutes to walk to work from where I stay. I walk to work at least 3 or 4 times a day. I always wear a comfortable shirt when I walk and get changed to my office wears when I reach the office. Sometimes I even walk back after work or after a dinner near my office. This is to ensure that I have at least the minimum amount of exercise per day.

In fact, walking on the street is considered to be more strenuous and more beneficial than walking on a treadmill in a gym. So this type of exercise and anything else you can fit in on a regular basis could help prevent heart disease from developing. Regular exercise will improve your overall health, it can also improve your heart in its functions.

Treatment of Heart Disease Using Exercise

In the past, heart disease often led to a stop in engaging in any form of exercise. Bed rest was often thought to be the best treatment for a patient. However, many patients and doctors now believe that a certain amount of exercise can be the ideal solution for those who suffer from heart disease.

Significant improvements can often be seen in patients who suffer from heart disease that have taken part in a formal exercise program. Patients who suffer from heart disease need not be afraid of exercise as it has been shown to provide a longer and healthier life.

Exercise can help heart disease by improving vascular function and the way the heart works. It can also improve the muscles and give an overall feeling of good health. The advantages of exercise for people who suffer from heart disease are many.

Those who suffer from heart disease and want to begin an exercise routine should discuss the situation with a doctor and get their advice on what are the best options for you. Exercise is very helpful but if it’s over exerted, it could do more harm than good. It is therefore necessary to consult an expert opinion beforehand.
