Smoking one pack a day doubles the risk of a heart attack. It is important for smokers to know, that no matter how long they have been smoking and regardless of their age, it is never too late to reap the benefits of quitting. And every year you stay away from cigarettes your risk level drops closer to that of non smokers. Death rates from heart disease are 50 percent higher in overweight individuals. That extra 20 pounds that you might think you can carry and hide well is an extra burden that your heart does not need.
Obesity is also the cause of many other serious disorders and diseases.
An aerobic exercise is one that is continuous and rthymic and one elevates your heart rate while increasing your oxygen uptake. Examples are brisk walking, jogging, swimming, biking, and aerobic dancing. Although tennis, baseball and basketball are aerobic sports , you should be involved in some form of regular aerobic exercise in order to get yourself in shape to play these aerobic sports. Start an exercise program sensibly. If you haven't been working out begin by walking.
