Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aerobic exercise has been shown to strengthen the heart, increase blood flow, keep blood vessels open, and lower blood pressure, all of which can reduce the risk of having a heart attack. Options A and B are incorrect because an external locus of control (A) and elevated cortisol levels (B) are not associated with improving heart health. Option C (biofeedback) may have benefits, but it is not as consistently linked with cardiovascular health as aerobic exercise.
