Most often, doctors tend to forget to remind patients to be more physically active. Some patients also feel so comfortable that they are already on medications that they dont need to watch out what they eat or do.
Now comes a new study presented at the Annual Meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine that looked at the value of regular physical activity among patients already on aggressive lowering of sugar and cholesterol and see if regular exercise contributes further to preventing heart disease.
This is so far the first study to document that if one exercise reglarly at least 30 minutes like walking, further reduction in ones risk to heart disease progression can be seen. When pulse wave activity was measured after 2-5 years, those that exercise less or not at all, had a 14% increase in pulse wave activity suggesting more arterial stiffness. The study confirms that progression of atherosclerosis or blockage of blood vessels can be sloweddown or halted by adding physical activity to the usual medications we give to lower sugar and cholesterol.
This study further emphasizes to all of us that whatever we do and have in life…
if we are healthy.. go out and exercise;
if we have heart disease…go out and exercise
if you’re pregnant…go out and exercise….
Exercise will continue to add benefit to whatever medications youre taking for whatever disease you have! PLUS
Exercise difinitely PREVENTS you from falling ill…
Take care of your body…its the only one you have!
