Exercise!\n\nExercise does not mean going on the gym and enrolling some classes.  Walking around, dancing with the music, or just doing household chores are also good and profitable exercises.\n\nAny physical movement is an exercise, so instead of using your car going to the nearby grocery, why don't you take a walk, it would be helpful for your heart and body, as well as a savings on your pocket.\n\nRemember, a good execise is not necessarily streneous, it is better to be simple but prolonged or that would require endurance.  Endurance exercises are those that helps the heart and burns more calories.\n\nA good healthful diet is also relevant.  Be sure to eat a variety of foods everyday increasing on the veggies and fruits.  Roughage from fruits and vegetables would enable you to have a sustained blood sugar level thus you would feel full most of the time.  This in effect would limit or lessen your total calorie intake and finally a leaner body.\n\nHope i hjave helped.

Lots of cardio, like running or aerobics, anything to get your heart rate up. And it helps to do at least some light weight lifting. Also make sure to burn more calories than you take in, and drink lots of water, about a gallon per day. Hope that helps!

Running hills will get your stamina up very quickly. The toughest kind are those that go up really fast and then level off a bit but then still go up for about a quarter mile. Plus aerobics will help you a lot to prevent your heart working harder than it actually has to. A good diet including a good amount of carbs, protein and fat will help you along the way and also taking vitamins will also help a lot.

I would suggest doing leg lifts.  Something that really helps tone legs and is heart healthy is running.  I know it sounds unenjoyable but try to make it fun by gathering some friends up or bringing along your dog or ipod. running also  Is a great way to get your thoughts in order for the day an relieve stress.

Hi Jen\n\nHere are some ideas on how to heal your condition.\n\nQuick Action Plan for Preventing and Treating Heart Disease\n\n1. Since up to 50 percent of heart disease cases can strike without any warning symptoms, it’s important to regularly be screened for signs of heart disease. In addition to conventional heart disease signals, such as high blood pressure and cholesterol and triglyceride levels, have your health care provider also screen you for markers such as C-reactive protein, homocysteine, fibrinogen, lipoprotein(a), glucose, insulin, and iron.\n\n2. Also be sure to be screened for vulnerable plaque, which is the primary cause of 85 percent of all cases of heart disease. Effective screening tools for vulnerable plaque include ultra-high-speed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and darkfield microscropy.\n\n3. You should also be screened for infectious agents such as Chlamydia, Helicobacter pylori, cytomegalovirus (CMV), and the herpes family of retroviruses\n\n4. Oxidized cholesterol, rather than elevated cholesterol levels by themselves, is another primary factor in most cases of heart disease, and therefore should also be screened for.\n\n5. A healthy diet is essential for a healthy heart. Emphasize a diet rich in organic whole foods, especially plenty of fresh, raw fruits and vegetables, oats, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and organic, free-range poultry and wild-caught, cold water fish, such as halibut, mackerel, orange roughy, and salmon (avoid farm raised salmon). Beans and legumes are also advisable due to their high fiber content. Throughout the day, drink plenty of pure, filtered water, and avoid drinking—as well as bathing, and showering in—unfiltered tap water, because tap water contains heavy metals and pesticide residues that can contribute to and worsen heart disease. Also be sure to regularly use healthy oils such as extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, flaxseed oil, and fish oils for the essential fatty acids they contain.\n\n6. Useful nutritional supplements for protecting your heart include beta carotene; vitamins B3 (niacin), B6, B12, C, and E; folic acid; the minerals calcium, chromium, magnesium, potassium, and selenium; the amino acids L-arginine, L-lysine, L-proline, and L-carnitine; coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10); and proanthrocyanidin (PCA).\n\n7. Useful herbs include foxglove, garlic, ginkgo biloba, ginger, hawthorn berry, linden flower, and motherwort.\n\n8. Be sure to engage in a regular exercise program that combines aerobic exercise and strength training. For best result, devote 30 minutes three times per week to aerobic exercise, and 45 minutes twice a week for strength training.\n\n9. Learn how to properly manage stress. Useful stress reduction techniques include biofeedback training, meditation, and yoga.\n\n10. If you smoke, stop immediately. Also avoid all exposure to secondhand cigarette smoke, and minimize your exposure to environmental pollutants. \n\nBest of health to you\n\nCheers
