When you exercise, there is a lot of adrenaline. If you are well-conditioned, the body counteracts all of those things because it is used to the adrenaline. That is why I believe that each exertion is associated with lowering risk in people who are habitually active. Get active, the experts say, but do so slowly and check with your doctor before starting an exercise program. Try to do some type of cardiovascular exercise at least five times a week, and don't exercise to the point of exhaustion.
Slow progression is the key to maintaining an exercise program.
There is a lot of evidence that even that amount of exercise has marked benefits on heart disease risk. And it is a good idea to check with your doctor to tailor your exercise to your particular medical history. All rights reserved. Email This to a Friend. All rights reserved.
