If you have been diagnosed with CHD (Coronary Heart Disease) you've got some work to do maximizing your health.
Your approach to better health will be in layers, just like the layers of an onion.
Chances are in addition to a family history of heart disease, you may have several controllable risk factors that you can improve upon.
First of all one of the biggest risk factors for heart disease is lack of activity.
It's generally accepted that you should be involved in vigorous aerobic exercise at least 30 minutes a day, six days a week.
Before starting an exercise program be sure to check with your doctor, not everyone can exercise at this level.
Exercise is the keystone to better health because it can help improve your cardiovascular health while at the same time help you loose weight, reduce stress, help maintain a healthy blood sugar and also improve your cholesterol profile.
Thinking in layers: in addition to exercise you will be addressing diet and supplements.
Controlling blood pressure, blood sugar, triglyceride levels, HDL level, and LDL cholesterol.
Starting with a steady exercise program is a great way to improve your heart health.
