Question:
How much excercise contribute to the reduction of heart disease?
I have heart disease .. im 36 and both me folks have raised cholesterol , but im thinking, can i reduce my cholestorol by excercising at least 5hours/week? Surely it will raise my HDL and lower my LDL .. but will it be a significant amount ?
Answers:
Yes, definitely. You have the right idea about the 5 hours a day. A certain website I just found explains that physical Inactivity puts you at great risk, if you are a heart disease victim.
here's an excerpt from the article:
"Regular aerobic physical activity increases your fitness level and capacity for exercise. It also plays a role in both primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease. Physical inactivity is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke and is linked to cardiovascular mortality."
that excerpt was from this article:

here is another with good information, it is entitled, "Exercise Before and After Heart Disease"

I don't know whether or not you have diabetes, but it seems diabetes and heart disease could have something to do with each other. If you are interested, check this article out:
