Neurologist Natalia Koryavtseva stated in an interview with "Arguments and Facts" that the key condition for combating elevated "bad" cholesterol is regular walking. According to research, moderate physical activity—such as brisk walking—reduces the risk of worsening atherosclerosis and stroke by 20-30%.
To maintain vascular health, it is not necessary for individuals to engage in gym workouts. Simple exercises will suffice. However, walking should be practiced regularly, at least 5 times a week. These walks should last around 30 minutes.
It would be even better if the routine includes 2-3 sets of 10-15 squats, wall push-ups, or planks. Even such a straightforward routine can help lower the risk of heart and vascular diseases and "brain disasters."
Before starting any exercise regimen, Natalia Koryavtseva recommended consulting with a doctor—this is especially important for those with underlying health conditions.
