Heart disease is the leading cause of mortality worldwide, and it may be largely avoided by altering one’s lifestyle and managing risk factors. Here are some methods to avoid becoming stagnant.
1. Get moving
Your heart is a muscle, and exercise, like any other muscle, stimulates it.
Set your desired heart rate first, then select an activity you enjoy and can commit to for the long haul.
2. Quit smoking
It’s difficult to give up smoking. However, you are aware that quitting is critical, and one of the most compelling reasons is that smoking is linked to heart disease.
3. Lose weight
It takes more than diet and exercise to lose weight. According to Dr. Bavani Nadeswaran, understanding what you enjoy and what works for you is a personal adventure.
4. Chocolate & Wine
Antioxidants found in alcohol and cocoa (a significant element in chocolate) have been demonstrated to boost good cholesterol, lower bad cholesterol, and enhance blood coagulation.
5. Do not overeat
This advice is applicable all year, not just during the holidays when heart attack deaths are at an all-time high due to excess food and temptation.
When you eat a lot of food at once, you get:
The flow of blood from the heart to the intestines.
Heart rhythms that are faster and more irregular, which can lead to a heart attack or heart failure.
6. Don’t stress
A rise in blood pressure and a quicker heart rate are two of the more than 1,400 physiological responses to stress. If you don’t manage your stress, it might spiral out of control, trapping you in a cycle of anxiety.
