Exercise & Health
Activity and regular exercise are key lifestyle measures in preventing and reversing overweight, increasing common worldwide as a common preventable cause of heart attack, stroke and other serious diseases. These complications may at best cause disability and are major causes of preventable premature death in the UK and around the world. For the public in general, keeping weight in check helps to avoid many common serious medical conditions.
For people who are overweight, tests are important to rule out underlying causes and to identify cardiovascular risk factors that may be present. Reducing overweight is well-established as effective in helping to prevent heart attack, stroke and other serious medical problems, including diabetes mellitus, joint disease and many cancers. Overweight people are also at risk of worse outcome from the current pandemic of COVID-19.
The session will provide advice on exercise within healthy lifestyle to prevent and reduce overweight and to keep other cardiovascular risk factors in check by reducing high blood pressure, reducing total cholesterol and increasing good (high density lipoprotein) cholesterol.
