Answer to Question 1

A
A regular exercise program improves muscle tone and posture, controls weight, reduces tension, and promotes relaxation. In addition, exercise reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease and im-proves cardiopulmonary functioning.
Support systems may benefit a person experiencing stress, but do not reduce the incidence of heart disease.
Self-awareness skill development may enable persons to recognize when they are experiencing stress and need to implement stress-reducing strategies, but will not reduce the incidence of heart disease.
Time management, including setting priorities, helps individuals to identify tasks that are not necessary or can be delegated to someone else. Effective time management will help lower one's level of stress, but does not reduce the incidence of heart disease.
