Today is World Heart Day.
Two of the most high risk factors for heart problems is smoking and mental strain at work. Needless to say, the real estate profession especially during this economic recession, can be stressful if we allow it to consume us. And if we are taking care of our elderly parents, or engaged in another line of work, then the risk of a heart attack increases. But reversing the damage done to the heart is doable along with excercise.
Doctors say that a brisk 20-30 minute walk 3-4 times a week may lower the risk of a heart attack because it improves the heart's ability to pump, helps weight loss, and may lower your blood pressure. This is a good thing.
There are many other factors related to heart problems so get a check up regularly especially if you are in the group of people spoken of above. Please take the appropriate action, and have a happy World Health Day.
