More and more people in the UK seem to be leading hectic lifestyles. Things like eating lunch on the go, drinking too much alcohol in the evening, and having no time to exercise are all common.
The consequences of this kind of lifestyle can be wide–ranging. Health problems such as obesity, diabetes, strokes, and circulation problems can all be caused by an inactive lifestyle.
Heart disease is also a big problem and major killer of people in the UK. Including exercise in daily routines can bring significant benefits. And things like pedometers and heart rate monitors can help you to stay on the right track.
Maintaining a healthy heart can not only prolong people’s lives, it also has the following benefits.
* Increased energy
Taking gentle exercise such as walking can lay the foundation for a healthier heart. It is recommended that taking 10,000 steps a day can result in an overall better state of health.
A digital pedometer is a good way to measure how many steps are taken in a day and can help keep people focused on the task in hand.
A heart rate monitor can also help track how fit or unfit a person is and give them a goal to work towards.
* Improved mood
The stresses and strains of daily life can mount up fairly easily. Many people don’t realise how much impact their lifestyle has on their everyday mood.
Getting out of the house for a short walk, or going to the local gym for a change of scene can result in a healthier heart and overall brighter perspective on life.
* Better circulation
An unhealthy heart can lead to circulation problems such as numbness and cramping in hands and feet, and cuts and bruises that take a long time to heal.
By walking for just 20 minutes a day, or using a pedometer to count your 10,000 steps, you can improve your heart health significantly in conjunction with a healthy diet.
* Improved libido
People suffering from a loss of libido may also feel the benefits of a healthier heart through an exercise and healthier eating regime.
Emotional factors such as stress, anxiety and depression can all play a part in loss of sex drive, as well as erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation.
A heart rate monitor or pedometer (stepometer) can help people assess their level of fitness so they can do something about it. Taking 10,000 steps a day could have a big impact on libido and general wellbeing.
