maintain a healthy life style?
Congestive Heart Failure is
a condition in which the
heart cannot pump enough
blood throughout the body.
We strongly believe that in

be allowed to exercise in
order to strengthen their
heart as well as to upkeep
the stamina of it; inactivity
affects your heart, therefore

Exercise will help you have a healthy heart.

Exercising regularly can improve your

hearts strength.
You must have a healthy lifestyle to
feel better and increase your life span.
Many people feel that exercise may
hurt an individual rather than help
them, but it really does help them.
Upkeep your hearts stamina

CHFcan be caused by inactivity of

the heart, so by not allowing those
diagnosed with CHF exercise, we are

What other people falsely believe
-People with Congestive
Heart Failure should live
like anyone else that is

better because it is
already damaged.
-Exercise can disturb
their heart rhythm.
 Conclusion

healthy to maintain a healthy lifestyle

much exercise is appropriate
Educationis also needed to teach people
the misconception that this disease carries
