Preventing stroke through regular physical activity
One of the many benefits of regular physical activity is
helping to manage blood pressure and to help improve circulation and blood
flow. When it comes to preventing strokes and cardiovascular issues, these are
two key factors in promoting prevention.
If blood pressure remains elevated for
any length of time there is more damage done to the blood vessels and increased
build up of plaque and increased possibility of clots forming the blood
vessels.
Helping to keep the blood vessels healthy and avoiding plaque
build up is an important component of preventing the onset of a stroke from a
blockage or from lack of blood and oxygen getting to where it needs to
be. As this is Stroke Awareness Month, please help spread the word about
the importance of staying active!

New exercise session opens in Leduc
Exercise Session for the the Leduc Obesity Clinic
This 8-week program is offered to those patients that are
referred by Dr. Siva from her obesity clinic. The program is once per week on
Tuesday afternoon for a session consisting of mat work, dumbbell exercises,
foam roller work, stability ball exercises and strength exercises with
resistance bands.
The class is designed to offer exercising in a group
setting starting at a beginner level, using small equipment.
The program is progressive in nature and can be a good basis for people to transition to a home program as the small equipment is easy to store at home and not so taxing on the wallet to purchase.
It is led by the Leduc Beaumont Devon Primary Care Network Exercise Specialist and offered as a way for people
to get comfortable with exercising at a gradual pace.
