Health Tip: Exercise for a Healthier Heart
By LadyLively on April 11, 2016
It’s common knowledge that exercise helps you shed pounds. But it also can help your heart.
The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute says exercise:
- Boosts lung function and makes your heart stronger, allowing more oxygen-rich blood to be pumped throughout your body.
- Reduces the risk of plaque formation inside your arteries, which can lead to coronary heart disease and heart attack.
- Lowers blood pressure and blood fats, and helps regulate blood sugar.
- Helps reduce inflammation, control weight and boost healthy HDL cholesterol.
