Jumping rope

Physical inactivity is a major contributing factor for heart disease and stroke, as well as obesity, high blood pressure, high triglycerides, a low level of HDL cholesterol, and diabetes.  Physical activities that include aerobic exercises such as brisk walking, jumping rope, jogging, bicycling, and dancing help the heart by making it work more efficiently.  To help prevent cardiovascular disease engage in regular physical activity.  An increase in physical activity will promote healthy bones, muscles, and joints.  In addition to the physical benefits, regular physical activity reduces feelings of depression and anxiety, improves mood, and promotes a sense of well-being.  By combining regular physical activity and a healthy diet individuals can reduce their risk of heart disease.  Foods that may help prevent heart disease are corn, beans, artichokes, and carrots.
