How can you keep your heart healthy?
When they find out that heart disease can’t be entirely prevented, many people get discouraged and make unhealthy lifestyle choices believing that they can’t make a difference anyway.
That’s one of the worst things you could ever do.
Although you can’t prevent heart disease 100% due to factors like genetics or medical history, there’s plenty you can do to reduce the risks and complications!
Here are some of the most notable things you can do:
- Sleep well. Sleeping is probably the easiest, most affordable and the most comfortable thing you can do for a healthy heart! Try to get at least 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep per night to give your body the opportunity of resting and repairing itself. If you’re having trouble sleeping, these 9 foods and drinks may help.
- Maintain dental hygiene. Multiple studies showed that unhealthy gums allow bacteria to enter the bloodstream and increase your levels of C-reactive protein, which is a sign of inflammation in your arteries and blood vessels. Maintaining good oral hygiene is another easy step to prevent heart disease; our Dental Health Essential Kit can make you smile confidently while keeping you healthy in the long run!
- Stay active. It might be easier said than done, I know – especially after a year of pandemic-life stuck at home. However, doing at least 30 minutes of physical activity daily can be literally life-saving; note that even intense house-cleaning and walking count as physical activities, so there’s no excuse not to get moving right now!
If you want to begin working out, but just don’t know how, here’s our free Beginner’s Workout Guide to get started on the right track.
