Heart disease is an umbrella term for a number of different diseases affecting the heart. As of 2007, it is the leading cause of death in the United States, England, Canada and Wales, killing one person every 34 seconds in the United States alone.
The blood vessels consist of arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules, and veins. All blood is carried in these vessels. The arteries, which are strong, flexible, and resilient, carry blood away from the heart and bear the highest blood pressures. Because arteries are elastic, they narrow (recoil) passively when the heart is relaxing between beats and thus help maintain blood pressure. The arteries branch into smaller and smaller vessels, eventually becoming very small vessels called arterioles. Arteries and arterioles have muscular walls that can adjust their diameter to increase or decrease blood flow to a particular part of the body.

Walking to Develop a Healthy Heart  

customers regularly with me on weight loss and healthy lifestyle. While I agree that the combination of diet and exercise is important to a healthy body, it's movement, which actually offers the most bang for his buck. Because movement is good for more than just your body, it's good for your overall well-being.

Think it if you stressed your blood pressure rises. These can be headaches and fatigue, in order in. While there are many types of exercises you can do to combat stress, walking is perhaps the best. This is primarily because it is simple and inexpensive. Like all the cardiovascular exercises, it reduces stress and lowers blood pressure, while the release of endorphins, the promotion of mind and help you in a balanced state.

While many health-conscious people in gyms or purchase expensive equipment for home use, walking is completely free. Plus you can sign in to every day for as little or as long as you want.

Let me ask, how often did you sit at your desk at work and felt so that it has caused you neck or back pain or other symptoms? If you have a short break and go at this point, even around the block, your blood pressure would decrease and you in essence, would have deleted your opinion. " They would not be under the influence of stress and you can return to your desk and continue with your work.

now just imagine if you went for thirty minutes per day. As a result of your cholesterol is significantly reduced, your blood pressure is lowered, and you feel revitalized and clear the mind. More importantly, walk significantly reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Our modern sedentary lifestyle obesity has become a pandemic in our society. As a result, we are all associated with an increased risk for heart disease, stroke and other diseases.

If you have high cholesterol, as I said earlier, one of the things that your doctor can provide for a blood test every three months. This is for monitoring the HDL (good cholesterol) and LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides (fat in the body). While your LDL is low, it is the HDL and triglycerides, the main concern. This is because a high triglyceride level of 200 or more shows that you can be overweight as a result of the lack of physical activity. If your blood test shows that the HDL under 50 is below the normal range. The only way to increase your HDL and lower your triglycerides is through physical movement.

The facts are that when your doctor shows you the blood test, and your HDL and triglycerides are of Whack, the report also found that you are a high risk for cardiovascular disease. If you have a report like this, in order to reduce your risk, walking is not only recommended, but it is necessary.

If you are not currently in a physical activity, now is the time. Start slowly and work your way up. Nobody will say you have to run a marathon, but if you want to avoid future health problems associated with the heart, walking is a great first step.
