You can add life to your years and years to your life!
"Today is the day after my eighty-eighth birthday. I am
celebrating, among other things, the fact that I am fit and
healthy. How did this happen? Well, I think there are two
reasons. First, my body has become a kind of showcase for the
latest medical devices. Second, for the past twenty-five years I
have belonged to a cardiac rehabilitation program."
by David Moses. For
more, here is the link to "Our Stories" |
Research* shows that participation in a cardiac rehabilitation program
which provides education, counseling, behavioral intervention along with supervised
exercise results in a 25% reduction in mortality!
A program like ours can
 | increase your energy levels and reduce disease symptoms,
|
 | improve your muscular strength, flexibility, and endurance,
|
 | improve your ability to cope with stress and to reduce depression and
anxiety,
|
 | increase your self-confidence and reduce your risk of future cardiac events,
and
|
 | prolong your
life! |
