Preventing Heart Disease

Dr. Marcus St. John, Cardiovascular Specialist with Miami Cardiac and Vascular Institute, explains physical activity has a ton of benefits, because it improves blood sugar, cholesterol, your sense of well-being, sleep, weight, and it lowers blood pressure. He recommends 30 minutes of physical activity everyday. "There are a lot of ways to get more steps, to walk with a purpose. It does not have to be 30 minutes at once."
