C. THE EXAMPLE OF PROBLEM AND SOLUTION ESSAY

A Healthy Heart

Is your as healthy as it should be? Many doctors would probable answer

no. millions of people throughout the world are currently living sedentary
lifestyles and eating vast amounts of food lacking in nutritional value, and by
doing so they are in-advertently creating problems for their heart. Improving
their situation could be aacomplished fairly easily, without incurring
monumental medical bills or making depressing changes in their lifestyles.
These minor changes include exercise, diet, and meditation.

There have been countless studies conducted by medical professions that

tout the benefits of even modest amounts of exercise. Exercise accomplishes
two vital things at once. When people exercise, they burn calories, which
results in reducing body fat. Maintaining an appropriate weight is essential
for good cardiosvacular healtn. People who are overweight place an extra
burden on the heart; it has to work much harder to circulate the blood through
the body. This extra exertion causes weakening of the heart over time in
addition to burning calories, exercise strengthens the heart. The heart is
muscle, and like all muscles in the body, It needs to be exercised regularly to
maintain peak performance. The exercise does not need to be exceedingly
athlete to enjoy benefits of exercise. Doctors report that even 30 minutes of
light exercise a day will result in benefits to one`s heart.

Another fairly easy change is to modify one`s died. With the hectic
schedule of many people to they fast foods have allowed individuals to eat on
the run and not waste time. Unfortunately, most fast food today is lacking in
nutrition. It is loaded with sugar, fat and salt. It may taste delicious, but the
price people pay for a little convenience is to high. Foods high in sugar will
eventually add unwanted pounds. Foods high in fast, if eaten for long periods
of time, in creased the amount of cholestor in the body, which eventually
leads to the narrowing of the arterial walls. Foods high in salt increase blood
pressure. In creased blood pressure makes the heart work much harder to
circulate the blood, which will eventually weaken it. To improve this situation
all one has to do is start eating better instead of three eggs, a large pile of
bacon, and toas leaded white butter for breakfast one could eat oatmeal, a
bowl of non-sugary cereal with skim milk, and a glass of juice. Instead of
munching down on a candy bar or cookies for a snack try a carrot or celery
stick. Not only do these snacks keep calorie count down, they are a good form
of roughage.

Meditation and deep breathing exercise are other ways to benefit your
heart, especially if you are prone to high blood preassure. Sitting quietly,
thinking of nothing at all and letting your body and mind relax, completely
does wonders for the heart, not to mention the turmoil of the mind. Is has
been estimated that 60% of all doctor visits are stress related. Increased stress
increased blood pressure, heart rate, and respiration rate. Meditation and deep
breathing can help reduce stress, thus providing benefits to the cardiovascular
system. Research has shown that meditation and deep breathing exercises
lower blood pressure, without the adverse effects that could occur with
meditation. Meditation also reduce another cardiovascular risk, a higher than
average heart rate, which also weakens the heart over time.
 Many things in life are important, and a healthy heart tops the list. No
matter what one accumulates or accomplishes in life, if your have a bad heart
it all could end in a heartbeat, literally. There are easy and effective means to
end sure that a person maintains a strong heart that are simple to maintain and
don’t involve vast financial resources. So do your self and your loved ones a
favor take a quiet, relaxing walk down to the corner grocery store and pickes
up bunch of grapes for lunch.
