What is cardiovascular disease and should I be concerned ?
I do a lot of things to improve my cardiovascular system. As a soccer player, I need to be physically fit all the time so what I have been doing to stay fit during the off-season is running 3 miles 6 days a week on top of that I have soccer practice twice a week. This helps me stay physically fit and it improves my fitness so I can get ready for next season. I also don't smoke or do any drugs for that matter which definitely helps me maintain a good level of fitness. Finally, I have also been eating very healthy food and kept that up so I am growing in strength while maintaining weight. Overall my cardiovascular fitness is good but it still can be improved and I'm working on that.

- "My daughter, Hannah, has been pestering me about changing the way we eat and getting more exercise. She says she is just trying to lose weight, but ever since I learned I have type 2 diabetes I know she's been worried about me. What I didn't realize until last night is that she is worried about herself, too. All through dinner she was really quiet: then suddenly she says, 'Mom, I had my fasting blood sugar tested at the health center, and guess what? They said I have pre-diabetes since my glucose level was 188 mg/dl. They told me that's the first step towards diabetes and that, if I didn't make some serious changes, I would end up just like my mom. I am not sure why but, it made me nervous.’ (Judy takes a deep breath and then tells the nutritionist) “So, I guess we both need to change some things when it comes to eating and exercising.
