Are Your Unhealthy Habits Slowly Killing You?
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the western world causing 2700 deaths daily which is more than all other cancers combined. Inactivity, smoking, poor diet and excessive drinking can triple your chance of developing this disease.
Your heart is the most important muscle in your body, supplying your entire body with fuel. This muscle is responsible for pumping blood to the walls of your lungs so oxygen can be carried by your red blood cells throughout your body to keep all your body’s processes alive.
Silent Killer
Unhealthy habits are causing people to store a large amount of bad fat in their bodies. Fat slowly grows around important organs and silently blocks your arteries. Blocking of arteries supplying your heart muscle can cause a fatal heart attack.
Risk Factors for Heart Disease
- Inactivity
- Obesity
- High blood pressure
- High cholesterol
- Smoking
- Diabetes
- Excessive drinking of alcohol
Each of these increases your risk of developing heart disease by 300%
Reduce Risk of Heart Disease with Interval Training
Interval training is exercise allowing short burst of high intensity (90-95% of VO2 peak) and longer periods of recovery (50% of VO2 peak). This type of training is usually performed using a treadmill, cycling, or other cardio equipment. Research is showing interval training to be superior in gaining cardiovascular effects:
- Increased ability to burn fat
- Reduce amount of stored fat
- Improved exercise capacity
- Reduced stress to your heart
- Reduced blood pressure
- Reduced heart rate at rest
- Reduced levels of cholesterol
Other health benefits found with exercise are an improved sense of well-being, reduced anxiety and depression and a lower mortality rate.
