Exercise 3 hours a week Lower Heart Attack Risk Men

Reduced risk of heart attacks in men can be done by way of sport. Just 3 hours a week doing sports, he was able to avoid a heart attack.

Researchers at Harvard School of Public Health found that approximately 38 percent reduced risk of heart attacks in men is caused by the beneficial effects of physical exercise( fat burning foods for men ). With physical exercise can increase levels of good cholesterol or high density lipoprotein (HDL) in men.

The results of these studies have been published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise. The study shows 3 hours of vigorous exercise a week can reduce heart attack risk by 22 percent male.

The study has involved 1239 men in the Health Professionals Follow Up Study, which provides information on the amount of their weekly exercise. The researchers also analyzed the cholesterol levels of study participants, as well as biomarkers of inflammation and insulin sensitivity.

Between 1994 and 2004, 454 men suffered non-fatal heart attack or dying from coronary heart disease. A number of 412 men in the group of men with heart problems compared with a control group of 827 men without heart problems.

Coronary heart disease is narrowing or blockage of coronary arteries. Coronary arteries are the arteries that supply blood to the heart muscle. When blood flow slows, the heart not getting enough oxygen and nutrients.

This usually results in chest pain called angina. If one or more of the coronary arteries is blocked completely, the result is a heart attack, which occurred because there is damage to the heart muscle.

Coronary heart disease was originally caused by a buildup of fat in the walls of the heart or blood vessels commonly called the coronary arteries. So that over time followed by various processes such as accumulation of connective tissue, perkapuran, blood clots and others.

This will narrow or clog the blood vessels. So will result in the area of ​​heart muscle deprived of blood flow and can cause a variety of serious consequences, such as chest pain (angina pectoris) to myocardial infarction.

Angina pectoris and myocardial infarction commonly known by heart attack. Heart attacks can cause sudden death.

The results showed that risk factors for cardiovascular disease is more common in the group of men with heart problems compared with the control group.
