Your heart is the source of your life. When your heart stops beating, your life comes to an end. Therefore, it is imperative that you take steps to keep your heart functioning well.
There is a link between your weight and your heart health. Excess weight puts stress on your heart, increases blood pressure, and can lead to higher cholesterol levels. If you visited the doctor recently and have had a PET scan cardiology, it may have indicated that your heart is damaged.
After your doctor performs a PET scan cardiology, they will likely recommend steps that you can take to strengthen your heart by losing weight. They may lay out a nutrition or exercise plan. Hearing that there is an issue with your heart might make you want to lose weight fast. But you need to lose weight in a controlled manner.
It is recommended that you lose no more than between half a pound and two pounds each week. In order to lose one pound a week, you must reduce your caloric intake by 500 calories each day. This can seem like a monumental task. However, it is a lot easier than most people think. By simply removing junk food and replacing it with fruits and vegetables, you will start to see the pounds fall off. As a person gets closer to their healthy body weight, they feel better, they look better, and their heart may start to function better.
