Exercise is good for you

EXERCISE AND CORONARY RISK
It’s widely recognised that a sedentary inactive lifestyle is harmful to health. In basic terms you will have a lower risk of illness and death if regular moderate exercise is performed.


PERFORMING A BALANCED WELL DEVISED PROGRAM ON REGULAR INTERVALS WILL:

1 Reduce the risk of dying prematurely

2 Reduce the risk of dying prematurely from heart disease

3 Reduces the risk of developing high blood pressure

4 Reduces the risk in developing diabetes

5 Helps reduce blood pressure in those who already have it

6 Reduces the risk in developing colon cancer

7 Reduces feelings of depression and anxiety

8 Helps control weight

9 Helps build and maintain healthy bones and joints

10 Helps older adults become more strong and mobile

11 Promotes psychological well-being


MAJOR RISK FACTORS OF CORONARY RISK ARE:

1 Smoking is the biggest risk factor and you will have 2 or 4 times the risk of non-smokers. Smokers who have a heart attack are more likely to die within 1 hour than non-smokers.

2 High blood pressure causes the heart to enlarge and over time will weaken, regular exercise has been shown to lower diastolic and systolic pressure.

3 High blood cholesterol will increase coronary risk considerably, again a well devised program performed on a regular basis may lead to reductions in cholesterol levels.

4 A sedentary lifestyle is a major factor as is a poor diet.
