Patient's Query

Hello,

I am a 27-year-old male who has been reading about cardiorespiratory fitness online. I have come across information indicating that it can reduce the risk of several diseases. I am interested in learning whether this is accurate, and if it is, what kind of cardiorespiratory fitness routine I should consider to enjoy these health benefits. I am currently in good health, but my father has been managing diabetes for the past 15 years. I am looking to take proactive measures to safeguard my health, and I would greatly appreciate any guidance you can provide on this matter.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

You have got it right. Cardiorespiratory exercises play an important role in improving the endurance capacity of your heart and lungs. The more consistently you incorporate these exercises into your routine, the better your cardiovascular system functions. I would suggest you aim for regular cardio exercises, dedicating at least 150-200 minutes per week to reap the benefits. You have various options, including:

  1. Walking
  2. Cycling
  3. Low-impact aerobic exercises
  4. Stretching routines
  5. Active body joint movements

These exercises, along with numerous other variations, can be highly beneficial. Also, maintaining a balanced diet complements your cardiorespiratory fitness journey and contributes to overall health.

Thank you.
