Exercise isn't just for building muscles or losing weight; it plays a crucial role in maintaining heart health and managing cholesterol levels.

Regular physical activity strengthens your heart and improves circulation. This can help lower your bad cholesterol levels and raise good cholesterol, reducing the risk of heart disease.
Types of Exercises
Aerobic exercises like walking, jogging, and cycling are excellent for heart health. Strength training and flexibility exercises also contribute to a comprehensive fitness plan that promotes overall well-being.
