Summary

This study tests whether a 16-week program of water exercise in thermal water, drinking thermal water with bay leaf, or both, can improve cholesterol and other heart health markers in people over 45 with controlled health conditions. Eighty participants will be split into four groups, including a control group. The goal is to see if these natural approaches can help manage cardiovascular risk.
