Many people think that one should not exercise after a heart attack. However, this is a misconception. Regular exercise and yoga are very beneficial to avoid heart attack. But some special precautions should be taken after a heart attack. Cardiologists say that after a heart attack, patients should avoid strenuous exercise for a few days. If high-density exercise is done immediately, it can be dangerous for the heart. Therefore, any type of strenuous exercise should be avoided until recovery after a heart attack. Fitness through more exercise Some people believe that doing more exercise keeps the body fit and reduces the risk of heart attack. This belief is also wrong. Experts say that one should workout according to the need and capacity of the body. Excessive exercise can cause strain or pain in the muscles, which can be dangerous if continued for a long time. Fitness and Heart Attack Risk Many people believe that if they are fit then there is no risk of heart attack. This is also a misconception. Although fitness can reduce the risk of heart attack, it does not eliminate the risk completely. Problems like family history of heart attack, diabetes, cholesterol and blood pressure also have to be taken care of. Daily exercise and medical checkup Despite exercising, regular medical checkups are necessary to avoid heart diseases. Even if you exercise daily, you can still fall prey to some disease. Therefore, do not live in this confusion and keep getting medical tests of the heart and overall body done from time to time. By removing these misconceptions and with the right information, you can understand your health better and maintain your fitness. Adish C.
