A study published in the journal BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, suggests that yoga is good for relaxation, calm stress, improve flexibility, but not enough to keep in good heart, to express that they should do more exercise .

Societies of Cardiology recommend to stay in shape, playing 30 minutes of exercise five times a week at least, which can be divided in various activities in 10 minutes. The study aimed to determine whether 20 people from about 30 years, who did yoga were able to implement the recommendations of exercise.

The scientific team from Long Island University confirmed that a meeting of nearly an hour of yoga burn an average of 3.2 calories per minute, a figure that can be achieved by walking.

The conclusion we reached is that “this does not comply with the recommendations on physical exercise to keep fit or cardiovascular health,” although the practice of some positions if they help to improve fitness, expressed “yoga sessions that include the position of the salute to the sun for a time exceeding 10 minutes would be a sufficient portion of physical exercise to improve cardiorespiratory fitness in sedentary way. “

The keys seem to be in tension caused by a lack of job control (when the employee is overwhelmed and does not control the situation) and insufficient in obtaining employment and social rewards for the effort.

Although overwork itself does not necessarily work-related stress, people with an overload of work, such as the work without interruption over 11 hours a day, could have a high risk of cardiovascular disease. It was also found work stress is associated with a higher cholesterol levels and increased overweight.

From these results, we recommend to cite stress as another risk factor, along with smoking, high cholesterol, hypertension, obesity or a sedentary lifestyle.

In summary, work stress doubles the risk of cardiovascular death, so it has important public health implications. Therefore, more attention should be paid to the prevention of work stress.

What seems clear is that if a person has suffered an angina or a heart attack, and also add the negative effects of any other difficulties, it is likely that the stress of this situation leads to changes in heart rate and trigger other effects that can destabilize a pre-existing heart disease.

4. Exercise

“Move!” was the slogan of the World Health Organisation to mark the World Day of Health in 2002. Physical activity is crucial for preventing cardiovascular disease and other diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension and obesity among others.

It also increases HDL-cholesterol (good). On the other hand, the key to losing weight is to eat less and exercise more. If you do moderate physical activities several times a week to complete at least three hours, it is possible to lose weight.

Although these activities should be tailored to individual needs of each individual, those of aerobic such as brisk walking, running, swimming, dancing, cycling etc., Are the most desirable. However, walking is the most simple, economic and natural exercise.
