We can dramatically reduce the likelihood of heart disease prior to old age by
adopting a healthy living lifestyle. This is according to a long-term study.
The study found that people who followed healthy living recommendations, such
as eating a healthy diet and getting regular exercise, reduced their odds of
heart disease by ninety percent over twenty years. The study group was compared
to others in their age range that were living the unhealthiest lifestyles such
as excessive smoking, drinking, high fat diet, over eating and lack of exercise
etc.
A
healthy lifestyle was also associated with a significantly reduced risk of
developing heart disease among men and women who had already developed a
cardiovascular risk factor like diabetes, hypertension or high cholesterol. The
study confirms the importance of healthy behaviors, such as not smoking and
exercising more.
These
findings also play a role in moving the public discussion toward adopting a
healthy way of life as the standard norm. Fitness is a lifestyle. However, it
is a choice. So, if you choose to start living fit and healthy and you need
help getting started, contact a personal trainer in your area. We sometimes
need extra motivation and encouragement to keep going. A personal fitness
trainer may be the answer. If you need a referral, contact me and I will put you
in touch with a trainer in your area.
