Equally important is getting
started on a cardiovascular workout program. Cardiovascular exercise
is the most important factor in reducing the risk of a heart attack
– even more significant than weight loss. As your personal
trainer, I will help you develop an aerobic activity based on your
interests and capabilities. Gradually, we can progress in intensity
to improve cardiovascular fitness.
As you become more consistent with your physical activity program
you will start to lose weight and your cardiac profile will improve.
Diet will be assessed and foods will be added that are rich in soluble
fiber, mono and omega 3 fats, plant stanol and sterol esters –
all foods that lower cholesterol as effectively as medications.
Cholesterol reduction supplements can be added to your diet as well.
So, let’s try to keep that medicine cabinet closed and get
working. There’s a lot to do!
