Fact or Fantasy?
No Pain No Gain: You need to get sweaty &
out of breath for it to count.
Presented by Cindy Cohen RN, BS BA – C2 Your Health LLC
It’s all about activity
Exercise is the only
way to develop
collateral
circulation
in the heart.
Collateral circulation is
created by the tiny arteries that
serve your heart. When the main
vessels of the heart become blocked the tiny
vessels pick up the slack and deliver the
needed oxygen.
