Forget about the hardest working man in show business. What about the hardest working organ in your body, your heart? It untiringly beats whether you are awake or asleep, pushing blood all over your body and supplying you with oxygenated blood. Do you take as good care with your heart as you need to?
For millions of people around the world, heart disease is a reality for which there is no cure. Did you know that bad health works with a domino effect once started? If you are at any risk for heart disease, there are six things you should do to ensure your heart health does not fall over onto the other dominoes.
1. A diet with high amounts of fats and cholesterol indicates your body will become fat and your heart at risk. Select a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, low fat dairy, whole grains and fish. Garlic can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol. Foods high in fiber help your body better remove it from the blood. Good fats- monounsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids- can assist in lowering blood pressure, reducing blood clotting, lowering cholesterol and develop the robustness of blood vessels.
2. Even if your diet that is not the healthiest, exercise can help you. It reduces stress, strengthens the heart, and conditions the lungs and muscles. Regular cardiovascular exercise will also help lower cholesterol, increase blood flow and keep excess weight away.
3. Herbal remedies such as valerian, hawthorne, and motherwort are active in improving heart functions. Hawthorne helps normalize blood pressure, whilst valerian calms anxiety and lessens blood pressure. The herb motherwort can lower cholesterol levels in the blood.
4. You can reduce heart risk by 50% in the first year alone by quitting the tobacco habit. Smoking raises blood pressure and causes blood clots, two things that seriously add to heart disease risk. Remove the nicotine and tar damage and reduce your heart health risks.
5. Scientists claim one glass of red wine per day is actually of assistance for your heart. However, unwarranted amounts of drinking can tighten the blood vessels, promoting further salt re-absorption, high cholesterol levels and high blood pressure. If you must drink, limit yourself to one drink per day.
6. Stress may elevate blood pressure though constriction of blood vessels, forcing the heart to work more to pump healthful blood right through the body. Try yoga, visualization, biofeedback or more exercise to reduce stress. Decide on whatever solution that works best for your circumstances so you can relax.
