10 ways that sports give you to preserve your heart
Heart disease is the main cause of death in many countries, especially the United States of America. There are some risk factors for hardening of the heart arteries that we cannot control or change, such as age, gender (male or female), or genetic factors....
But there are still many factors that a person can control and change for the better, such as refraining from smoking, choosing the type of food, exercising, avoiding stress, and other ways to change the lifestyle that protect the body and heart from many risks.
Scientific research has proven, according to what was recently published in the American Journal of Heart under the title:
"Exercise protects the heart in ten different ways"
These are:
1) Regular exercise contributes to the effective treatment of high blood pressure
2) Exercise also helps to reduce the levels of low-density cholesterol or
(bad cholesterol) that causes hardening of the arteries
3) It also helps to increase the levels of high-density cholesterol (good cholesterol)
4) Regular exercise strengthens the heart muscle
5) Exercise effectively contributes to maintaining the appropriate weight for a person and protects him from obesity
6) Improves the body's ability to consume oxygen in the blood
7) Exercise improves the function of the involuntary nervous system, which contributes to lowering heart rates and blood pressure during nervous tension
Exercise reduces the risk of diabetes (type II, which depends on tablets for its treatment)
9) Exercise contributes to improving the general mood and adding a kind of happiness and relaxation due to the substances it secretes in the body (endorphins) during exercise
10) Exercise reduces nervous pressure because it improves mood and increases the feeling of self-confidence
That Practicing any kind of sport or walking regularly (half an hour a day) (five times a week) gives you all these benefits.
