Cholesterol in blood can lead to artery blockage. LDL cholesterol is risky, while HDL protects against buildup.
Jogging improves cholesterol and weight management. Long-distance running enhances HDL and blood pressure more than short-distance running.
Walking or running, it's the energy exerted that counts. Both offer cardiovascular benefits. Burning 300 calories equals similar health gains.
"Cycling equals jogging in energy expenditure but is gentler on joints, crucial for aging. Opt for cycling if experiencing joint pain. Biking to work lowers risk of high cholesterol.
"Swimming beats walking for joint health! 2010 study: women 50-70 found swimming improved weight, fat, LDL more than walking."
"Aerobic reduces heart disease risk. Resistance training clears LDL faster, aids weight loss, boosts heart health at any age."
"Yoga lowers heart disease risk, improves cholesterol levels. Indian Heart Journal: 3-month program, significant changes."
