Strength Training Programs to Strengthen the Heart

As we age much of our body's muscle is replaced by fat. There are five risk factors for cardiovascular disease we can modify by lifestyle changes. They are:

• inactivity
• high cholesterol
• high blood pressure
• excess body fat
• diabetes

All the above mentioned respond to varying degrees to strength training according to experts. Strength exercise increase muscle mass and burn body fat that in turn reduces risk for obesity. Strength exercise also helps manage type 2 diabetes by reducing abdominal fat and improving blood sugar control. Experts tell us strength exercises may improve blood cholesterol levels and reduce resting blood pressure. In turn, these improvements lowers your risk for heart disease.

Planning a strength routine requires a first stop to your personal physician. If you are cleared to proceed, ideally a visit with a physical therapist is next in order. A physical therapist can take the guess work out of "what you in particular need to do." He or she can tailor a strength training program specific to your needs and show you how to maintain it on your own.

You do not have to take out membership in a gym for strength training. Good news is it takes very little exercise equipment to get a good strength training workout at home or in your office. Many exercises require only your own body weight. Push-ups is a good example of strength training with no equipment except your body weight. Planks are another good example of using body weight to strength train. Dumbbells in 1, 3 and 5 pounds or whatever your physical therapist recommends is a cheap start and good purchase for home strength training. Invest in a foam pad or yoga mat, and you are well on your way to a good home strength training routine.

The American Heart Association now days say strength training is safe and beneficial for most low-risk heart patients. If you have had heart attacks, you should follow the advice of your cardiologist. For this group of people strength training usually comes in the later phase of cardiac rehab.

Fish Oil supplements can help you maintain a healthy brain and heart. Life's Abundance offers a high quality Fish Oil.

Fish Oil

Not all Fish Oils are Created Equal. The benefits of including additional Omega-3’s to your diet are well known. However, unless you’re taking a high quality supplement, you may be better off not taking one at all. In this case, what you don’t know could hurt your wallet and your health.

Your Wallet

The amount you pay for a bottle of fish oil can be deceptive. It’s not how much a bottle costs, but rather the amount you pay for 1,000 mg of the health-promoting ingredients EPA and DHA contained in the oil. If you look at our comparison, you’ll see that ultra-pure Life's Abundance Fish Oil represents one of the best values on the market today. In addition, you’ll also notice that our fish oils also contain sesame lignans and astaxanthin, two key ingredients that enhance the health-promoting qualities of fish oil.

Your Health

In its unpurified form, fish oil contains many contaminants, some of which can be harmful to your health. To purify the oil takes many steps, each one adding to the cost of manufacturing. It is important to buy your fish oil from a company that not only says it purifies the oil, but one that is willing to share the results from every batch made with you, so you can know you and your family are safe.

The Solution

Life's Abundance omega-3 fish oil supplements are highly concentrated and ultra pure and they meet or exceed the highest standards in the industry for quality assurance. In fact, each and every batch of Life's Abundance Fish Oil is tested by an independent third party organization (IFOS) and the results are posted on the Life's Abundance website so you can see the quality, concentration and purity that ultra-pure fish oil supplements can offer you and your family.
