Does a sedentary lifestyle increase your risk for heart disease?

Exercise is important to reduce blood cholesterol levels. High cholesterol can increase plaque and increase the risk of heart attack and stroke and high blood pressure.

Exercise can help reduce weight. Obesity destroys arteries, causes strokes and heart attacks, and destroys the kidneys.

Exercise keeps the heart and lungs in good condition.

Exercise reduces the resting blood pressure and resting heart rate, both important in reducing overall stress on the circulatory system.

So why am I sitting here answering these questions when I should be active right now?
