Episode 13 Alert: How Cardio Improves Your Heart Health

Your heart is the most hardworking muscle in your body—it never takes a break. But just like any other muscle, it can be strengthened. The secret? Cardio exercise.

Walking, jogging, cycling, or even dancing—these activities raise your heart rate and keep it there, helping your heart pump blood more efficiently. Over time, cardio lowers “bad” LDL cholesterol, raises “good” HDL cholesterol, improves blood pressure, and reduces your risk of cardiovascular diseases. 🚴‍♀️🏃‍♂️

The beauty of cardio is in its simplicity. You don’t need to run a marathon—consistency is what matters. Even small steps like a daily walk can make a life-changing difference for your heart health.

Your heart has been working for you all your life—it’s time to give back. Start today. 💪
