Abstract

Regular exercise plays a critical role in promoting heart health by enhancing cardiovascular function, reducing risk factors for heart disease, and improving overall quality of life. Physical activity strengthens the heart muscle, allowing it to pump blood more efficiently, which in turn improves circulation and reduces blood pressure. Exercise helps control weight, lowers "bad" LDL cholesterol, and raises "good" HDL cholesterol, which decreases the buildup of arterial plaque. Additionally, regular movement combats stress and promotes mental well-being, further supporting heart health. As a preventative measure, exercise reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases, making it essential for maintaining a healthy heart.
