The Benefits of Cardiovascular Exercise

The Benefits of Cardiovascular Exercise

 

The heart is the epicenter of you cardiovascular system, which controls just about every part of your body. Without prioritizing cardiovascular health, you’re more at risk for various chronic diseases and conditions that can debilitate you in life. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 610,000 people in the U.S. lose their battle with heart disease every year. Additionally, every year about 735,000 people have a heart attack.

While doctors claim that the most common risk factors for heart disease include high blood pressure and cholesterol, diabetes and obesity, the true root causes are a poor diet (heavy in animal products and low in fruits and vegetables), lack of exercise, lack of restful sleep and being stressed out. Chances of developing such conditions can be reduced by following a primarily raw, plant-based diet, but you can lower your risk even further by exercising regularly. Cardiovascular exercise, or the physical activity that raises your heart rate, is particularly beneficial.

Let’s take a closer look at some of the advantages of cardiovascular exercise:

Reduced Body Weight
As previously stated, obesity and being overweight can increase your risk for heart disease. By incorporating cardiovascular exercise into your daily routine, you can slash the pounds and get down to a healthy, manageable weight.

“Physical activity releases hormones like serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine.”

Improved Mood
Do you feel stressed more often than not? Are you constantly worried about life at work, or even at home? Exercise may be the outlet you need to relieve the anxiety. According to the Cleveland Clinic, physical activity releases hormones like serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine, all known to emulate good feelings. Exercise also has a reputation for combating depression and improving self-esteem.

Enhanced Energy Levels
Can you recall the last time you got a good night’s rest? If each and every night consists of tossing and turning, exercise may be the remedy you need. Performing cardiovascular physical activity releases endorphins that provide long-lasting energy throughout the day, which then allows you to doze off faster when it’s time to get some sleep at night.

Cardiovascular activity strengthens the heart and lungs, and it can truly be a lifesaver if your body is in poor condition. Running, jogging, brisk walking, swimming and biking are just a few of the most common types of exercise you can implement into your weekly workout. If you need help getting into a routine, you may consider joining an aerobics class at your local fitness center. The initial push led by an instructor can come in handy and help you learn the ropes before taking matters into your own hands.

Remember: Adults are recommended to spend at least 150 minutes per week dedicated to moderately-intense aerobic activity. If you don’t already exercise regularly, start off slow by walking 10 minutes every day. Over time, you should have no problem reaching 30 minutes a day, five days a week.

While the body can create some of these nutrients, it also requires essential vitamins and minerals from food sources. Every living organism depends on its cells to function normally. Often referred to as “the building blocks of life,” cells are the biological, structural and functional units that carry out tasks in an organism. A collection of cells working together is called a tissue, while a series of tissues performing organized functions are called organs.
