Cardiologist Tamaz Gagloshvili recalled that we live in an age of epidemic, and not coronavirus, in physical inactivity, obesity and diabetes. According to WHO, 17.5 million people worldwide die every year from cardiovascular disease (CVD).
Cardiovascular diseases are a group of diseases of the heart and blood vessels, which include ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, rheumatic heart disease and other pathologies.
Physical activity will help to minimize the risk of developing CVD in the first place. What happens to the body if you regularly give it aerobic exercise?
⠀
With hypertension, systolic blood pressure decreases by 5 mmHg, which is comparable to drug intervention.
Reduced LDL, triglycerides (“bad cholesterol”) and increased “good cholesterol” HDL. Thus, the blood vessels are cleaned.
The sensitivity of tissues to insulin increases, which normalizes the level of sugar in the blood. This is especially important for people with prediabetes and diabetes.
C-reactive protein (CRP) decreases
– C-reactive protein is a blood indicator that reflects the inflammatory process in the body. Obesity and diabetes cause inflammation of the vascular wall. And the higher the C-reactive protein, the higher the risk of atherosclerosis. And of course, regular exercise reduces excess body weight and thereby reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease. It’s stupid to argue with this, , the doctor wrote in his telegram channel.⠀
You can choose an exercise bike, ellipse, treadmill, table tennis, group cardio training, swimming pool, Nordic walking – whatever your heart desires.
⠀
You need to introduce loads gradually: you can start with daily walks and gradually increase the time and pace.
⠀– Cardiovascular diseases have contraindications to physical activity only in emergency conditions – acute heart attack, decompensated heart failure, severe heart block, hypertensive crisis, and so on. In the chronic course of CVD, physical activity is not contraindicated, but on the contrary is shown! Sports are unlikely to be useful, and exercise therapy should be, – the doctor noted.
General symptoms of cardiovascular diseases:
Eating 3-6 eggs per week reduces the risk of heart -vascular disease and death
