The heart is a vital organ in our body, it is a muscle that pumps blood to all parts of the body. The blood pumped by your heart provides your body with the oxygen and nutrients it needs to function

Lifestyle modification (behavioural weight control) includes a sedentary lifestyle where a person is largely inactive, spending significant amounts of time sitting or lying down with very little physical activity or exercise, eating any type of food that comes to mind, leading to potential health risks due to lack of movement

Dr Collins Kokuro, a cardiologist at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital and a senior lecturer at KNUST, speaking to Angel News has disclosed that, a sedentary lifestyle is a major risk factor linked to various health issues like obesity, cardiovascular disease and diabetes
