“There is no need to chase very heavy loads. In general, all outliers are bad for the body. Both overload and its complete absence. If a person exercises at least half an hour a day, actively walks or dances, or does some gardening, cycling, swimming, etc.
According to the cardiologist, physical activity also helps increase the level of “good” cholesterol, which is necessary to fight the “bad”.
“Cholesterol in the body is produced in the liver and circulates throughout the body in the form of such fat and protein complexes in the blood. High Density Cholesterol is a vascular cleaner. It passes through the veins, traps the “bad” cholesterol and carries it back to the liver, where it is destroyed. One of the most harmless and even healthy ways to increase its level in the body is physical activity, ”said the cardiologist.
