Hello,
If your physical activity is limited, the best thing to do is to have other types of physical activities (swimming) and try to maintain a normal weight by following a healthy diet (Mediterranean diet is helpful, and low cholesterol diet).
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
