Strictly in terms of "heart health" benefits, is there a big difference between cardio sessions of 20-30 mins, 45 mins and 1 hour?
Minimum 30 minutes. Long isn’t necessarily better. What may happen is that your body switches from aerobic to anaerobic, which is a different conditioning factor.

hi, recently my grandmother had an angiogram, and we learned that her arteries are 90% clogged and will have to have open heart surgery. i’m very concerned because she’s gotten so old, and i’m afraid she might not make it through the operation.
what i’m confused about is that my grandmom has never had high pressure and always had a good diet. she rarely ate high cholesterol foods, and i don’t think anyone in her family had heart problems. she did however have chronic stress and anxiety so i was wondering to what degree stress impacts heart health? she had good cholesterol, but then why are her arteries clogged 90%?
thank u
please anyone?
Recent studies have pointed to the role that stress plays in increasing cardiovascular inflammation, which in turn is a critical player in cardiovascular disease. Inflammation seems to provide the "glue" that everything else uses to stick to blood vessels.
From an evolutionary perspective this makes some sense. Back in the day, the kind of thing that would stress you out would be a life and death situation, like a lion chasing your butt. In these cases, your body would prepare you to deal with the potential impending butt-biting by flooding your system with chemicals designed to cause blood clotting, etc. Unfortunately, these days stress comes from more benign sources, like paying bills or having a nagging spouse, but the body’s reaction to stress remains the same.
The outcome from heart surgery is very good, and generally the doctors have used the patients overall health to make that determination. Hopefully she has had a second opinion to make sure that there isn’t a less invasive alternative.
Follow a heart healthy diet to reduce your risk of coronary disease.
