Heart health is the basis for a long and active life. Doctors emphasize that simple but important habits are necessary to maintain the cardiovascular system in good shape.
This was reported by URA-Inform with reference to the Telegram channel “Doctor in the Pocket”.
Walk more often
Walking is not just movement, but also the prevention of physical inactivity. A slow or moderate pace of walking helps improve blood circulation, reduces stress levels and strengthens the heart muscles. It is recommended to walk for 30 minutes a day, which also helps reduce the risk of heart disease.
Provide your heart with nutrients
Potassium, calcium and magnesium are necessary for the proper functioning of the heart. These trace elements regulate the heart rhythm, reduce the level of cholesterol in the vessels, prevent fluid retention in the body and normalize blood pressure. Natural sources are bananas, nuts, green vegetables, dairy products.
Minimize salt intake
Excessive amounts of salt provoke the accumulation of fluid in the cells, which puts stress on the heart and leads to high blood pressure. It is recommended to replace salt with herbs and spices to minimize its negative impact.
Follow a sleep schedule
A good night's sleep is the key to the body's recovery. Adults need 7-8 hours of sleep to maintain normal energy levels and prevent heart disease. Lack of sleep can trigger hypertension and heart rhythm disturbances.
In addition, there is a product that “kills” the heart.
