Healthy Living & Disease Prevention

Healthy living can reduce the risk of life-threatening diseases, including those that may run in your family. Some of these risks are greatly reduced by paying attention to one thing – consumption. By increasing the number of healthy foods you eat, you also increase your good cholesterol levels, which helps to prevent disease.

Another great benefit to having a healthy diet is it decreases unhealthy triglycerides. What does increasing good cholesterol and decreasing unhealthy triglycerides mean for your body? It means your blood flows smoothly, and this reduces the risk of stroke, heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome.

Although consumption plays a major role in healthy living – it doesn’t stop there. Exercise helps your cardiovascular system to work more efficiently by delivering nutrients and oxygen to your tissues. This can improve the health of your heart and lungs. Adding aerobic activities and strength training to your exercise routine is a great way to boost your health. Remember to check with your doctor before starting a new exercise routine.
