A Healthy Heart And Cardio-Respiratory Health

75% of all deaths are related to our diet. Sugar and unhealthy fats promote disease, fertilize cancer, and keep our energy levels down. Since your body does not make antioxidants, you must get them from your diet and supplements. Specifically from fruits and vegetables and a whole food supplement. A healthy body composition is key for longevity. One pound of muscle burns 33 calories at rest, one pound of fat burns 3 calories. The goal is to decrease your body fat and increase your lean muscle tissue, not just to look healthy but to increase your metabolism so you can keep a healthy balance of calories-in vs. calories-out. You can decrease your body age by at least 3 years if your body composition is in the healthy range. How do you do this? Increase your amount of body movement while lessening your intake of unhealthy food.

Heart disease is the leading killer of adults. More than 1.1 million people suffer a heart attack annually and 500,000 result in death. This is directly related to diet and the lack of physical activity. Cardiovascular health is extremely important. By eating a diet low in fat you will keep your cholesterol (LDL) low, and your arteries free from blockage. Since regular exercise promotes the production of healthy cholesterol (HDL), to improve your cardiorespiratory health you can run, walk, or even jog for 30 minutes each day. The 30 minutes does not have to be done all at once and can also be broken down into three 10-minute sessions. Take the stairs, park farther away, use your health club membership, play with your kids, take long walks and basically just move!
