Most definitely, go and get a physical. Exercise impacts everyone differently. It is dependent on so many things like history, diet, genetics, etc. A doctor could advise you better, but I would recommend as well getting a heart rate monitor. That way, particularly with running, you get an idea of where you are at in your "optimal" heart rate zone. Depending on what you are wanting to get out of your exercise regimen, knowing where your heart rate is can help you reach it. For example, if you are looking to burn calories, it is best to be in a lower range like 120 to 150. If you are looking to increase your stamina and cardio endurance, you would want to be in the 150 to 170 range. However, since we are all different, I would recommend speaking with a physician before taking those numbers as fact since we are all different. Cardio exercise, although it works the muscles differently than weightlifting, is similar in at least one way. Just like weightlifting breaks down the muscles as we lift so they will build up stronger, cardio exercise does the same thing to the heart. Just like if you lift too much weight or do too many reps, you can hurt your muscles, you can do the same to your heart. So, go see a doctor and see what he/she recommends and go from there.
Has Anyone Used Resvinatol Complete for Heart Health?
I just heard about a new antioxidant supplement called Resvinatrol Complete that I think I want to start taking. It has the antioxidant equivalent of 156 of red wine and is supposed to be 4 times stronger than pomegranate's antioxidant capacity. Has anyone ever heard of it or used it?
I looked at the website for it, judging by the ingredients it is safe. However, I don't see any proof that this is an improvement over standard vitamin supplements and at $30.00 for 40 pills is kind of pricey.
It won't due any harm to give it a shot, but I would look at the cheaper alternatives first.
Also, the American Heart Association doesn't recommend using antioxidant vitamin supplements until more complete data are available. They continue to recommend that people eat a variety of nutrient-rich foods daily from all the basic food groups.
CoQ10–What is a good daily dosage for heart health for someone over 55?
Three times per day after meals.
What can we do to protect heart health? Which vitamins or minerals one should take?
I take and suggest all natural CoQHeart and OmegaGuard.
CoQHeart - Coenzyme Q10 supports energy production in your cells. Studies show that as we age we have less and less of it in our body. It's in softgel form which the body more readily accepts over powders. It also contains the antioxidant resveratrol.
OmegaGuard - Provides a full spectrum of seven natural omega 3 fatty acids — EPA, DHA, ALA and more for cardiovascular health. It also uses low temperature, triple molecular distallation and purification process that concentrates natural beneficial omega 3 fatty acids and helps remove harmful contaminants including heavy metals lead, mercury, arsenic, cadmium, dioxins and PCBs.
Hope this is helpful and feel free to contact me with questions or if interested in the website.
I have been eating a lot of peanuts lately. Are they good or bad for your health and heart?
What are the healthiest nuts to eat? Boiled, parched, baked, etc. Do they hurt your cholesterol levels?
Unsalted, dry roasted peanuts are best.
Peanuts are high in protein and low in cholesterol.
Alot of peanuts are cooked in oil and are loaded with salt…obviously both are bad, so look for the dry roasted ones.
