Healthy Hearts

Love your heart - learn how to keep it healthy.

There are several ways that you can help to reduce your risk of developing coronary heart disease (CHD), these include reducing your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. There are a number of ways you can do this, including following a healthy diet and taking regular exercise.The heart is a muscle and like any other muscle it benefits from exercise. A strong heart can pump more blood around your body with less effort. Any aerobic exercise, e.g. walking, swimming, even dancing, makes your heart work harder and keeps it healthy. 

If you want to improve your health but you're not sure how to go about it, a Guernsey Health Trainer will help you set your goals and then support you to achieve them.
