Well, for one thing, losing weight lowers your blood pressure. High blood pressure forces your heart to work harder to circulate blood throughout your body, even in a relaxed state. |

Fat and cholesterol constrict your veins and arteries which makes your heart have to beat harder to get the blood through. Less restriction means your heart gets to take it easy when you're not exercising. |

It is hard on your heart to carry extra weight also the fat surround the heart. In either case your heart has to work harder to carry the extra fat. |

1. The lighter you are, the less your heart has to work. 2. Also cardio is great for your heart because it makes your heart stronger. At the same time it also causes you to lose weight, so it's a win/win. |

It helps get rid of some of the fatty deposits collecting in your arteries. Be careful, though of some of these diet drugs out there that can actually damage you heart and do more harm than good. What good is it tp be skinny and have a damaged heart |
