Cardiovascular Health
Cardiovascular disease is an umbrella term used to describe a range of conditions that affect the normal functioning of the heart. If not treated or managed properly, several of these conditions may be life-threatening.
Many types of cardiovascular diseases, however, can be prevented or treated through healthy lifestyle choices. Regular exercise can:
Assist in preventing the development of a number of cardiovascular conditions
Minimise or eliminate risk factors associated with developing cardiovascular disease (e.g. reducing blood pressure, losing body fat)
Treat or alleviate symptoms affiliated with certain cardiovascular conditions
Exercise can also help to:
Prevent blood vessels from narrowing further
Prevent blood clotting
Increase the delivery of blood to the heart
Maintain a normal heart rhythm
