How is exercise good for the heart if overworking the heart is bad?
Q. Experts say that exercise is great for the heart. On the other hand, they also say that when people are overweight, have high blood pressure or diabetes their heart works too hard. Then how is it that exercising and making your heart work hard a good thing? Can someone explain this contradiction?

A. Think about it - Exercise is done for a short period of time; it is during this period that the heart conditions itself by becoming more efficient and powerful. In the time afterwards, the heart slows down to its normal rate and becomes slower to "rest" at night. When someone is overweight, however, the heart is in an exercised condition all the time, with no rest during the night or day, remember, the heart can withstand great levels of stress, but not for any prolonged period of time, like several months or years. Eventually the heart will weaken, as with any organ that is overstressed, and enlarge to try and become more efficient. This enlargement is not better for the body and eventually causes more severe heart failure.
