Your body needs cholesterol for cell repair and hormone production, but excess LDL the “bad” kind turns your arteries into ticking time bombs. Sticky plaque narrows blood vessels, forcing the heart to work harder while cutting oxygen to vital organs. Worst of all, there are no symptoms until disaster strikes. Most high cholesterol comes not from dietary cholesterol but from saturated fats, trans fats, fried snacks, and sugar that push your liver into overdrive. Combined with inactivity, arteries stiffen years earlier than expected. Protecting your heart means prioritizing whole foods, fiber-rich vegetables, lean protein, healthy fats, and daily movement. Because once plaque builds, reversal is difficult and sometimes impossible.

A study by cardiologists at UT Southwestern and Texas Health Resources reveals that regular exercise can reverse damage caused by a sedentary lifestyle and aging heart — provided it begins before age 65.

Researchers found that exercising four to five times a week significantly improved heart function, increasing oxygen intake by 18% and enhancing the heart’s elasticity by 25%.

This regimen, tested over two years, included moderate-intensity sessions, high-intensity intervals, and strength training. Those who followed this structured routine experienced significant cardiovascular improvements compared to a control group engaged in yoga and balance training.

Dr. Benjamin Levine, lead researcher and Director of the Institute for Exercise and Environmental Medicine, emphasized that exercise should be viewed as essential as daily hygiene. The study highlights that sedentary aging stiffens the heart’s left ventricle, reducing its ability to pump blood efficiently, potentially leading to heart failure. However, consistent aerobic and strength training exercises can restore heart elasticity—if started in middle age.

The findings, published in Circulation, reinforce that maintaining an active lifestyle can be a powerful tool in preserving heart health and preventing age-related cardiac decline.Proper exercise can literally reverse heart damage.

Your heart beats 100,000 times a day — adding up to 35 million beats per year and 2.5 billion over a lifetime.

In fact, your heart pumps so much blood that it travels about 12,000 miles (19,000 km) through your body in a single day, which is twice the diameter of Earth.

With each beat, the heart pumps blood through a vast network of veins and arteries, delivering oxygen and essential nutrients to every cell while simultaneously removing carbon dioxide and waste.

And this remarkable organ functions tirelessly, acting as the engine that keeps your body running year after year on end. The sheer number of heartbeats over a lifetime is a testament to the incredible durability and resilience of this small yet powerful organ.

What's more, from infancy through old age, the heart continuously adapts to our changing needs, whether we're exercising, resting, or experiencing stress. So remember: Taking care of your heart ensures that it can keep taking care of you.

Be kind to yourself.
Your physical health depends on it.

Stress and anxiety can cause heart palpitations, headaches, acid reflux, insomnia, breakouts, and more.

It's okay to slow down. Take a step back, and do something that relaxes you.
