Cardiovascular Health
The importance of cardiovascular health is undeniable. Lack of cardiovascular health is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. It is something we can control and even remedy by engaging in proper cardiovascular conditioning, proper nutrition and stress management. All of these remedies/solutions are available with our guidance and expertise.
First we start with cardiovascular conditioning often better known as aerobics. A must do and something not easily understood and often poorly executed. We help you to understand what you need to do including time, heart rate aka effort and days/week. We always start with realistic goal setting but also help you to understand optimal effort.
Recommendation from the American Heart Association.
Second is proper nutrition not related to dieting but healthy eating is crucial. This area is quite crazy as it is dominated by the ‘diet industry’ and often leads to many more questions than answers. We work with you to help determine what constitutes general common sense healthy nutrition such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and protein sources.
