Congestive heart fai: Yes, your heart has to work harder to supply blood to all that extra weight through miles of extra vessels. It has a work load it can’t keep up with. Exercise, weight loss and CoQ 10 can help.

Lose weight: Obesity and diabetes are both important risk factors for heart disease. It is not easy, but losing weight is essential for reducing the load on your heart. You may consult a nutritionist for advice about diet. Discuss an exercise regimen with your doctor. Wish you good health!
