Exercise increases the heart's ability to pump. It lowers the amount of oxygen the heart and body needs, and it increases circulation. You will get good results by exercising for 15 to 30 minutes at least three times per week. Ask your doctor which one is best for you. You may advance to a Cardiac Rehabilitation Phase II program after you are home and have seen your doctor for a referral.
Stress is part of everyday life.
It is different for different people. Research studies have shown that when a situation causes good feelings or feelings of challenge, these changes in the body do not happen. When we talk about stress and how it affects health and illness, we are looking at bad stress. Your body's response to stress includes a faster heart rate, higher blood pressure and a faster rate of breathing. Stress hormones released by the body cause these changes.
