Helpful Hints To Keep Your Heart In Top Condition
A lot of songs nowadays talk about hearts growing or hearts breaking
. However, science and medicine experts dont only believe that a broken heart is depressing but apparently, its deadly too.
Rather than present you with advice and inspirational talk on how to forget about that one person who caused you misery, this article will provide you tips on how to care for that organ that pumps blood throughout your body and actually keeps you alive.
Move to the Beat: It may sound familiar but this is not a title of a dance song rather its a creative way of saying Keep moving and be active. Being lazy and staying in your couch whole day doesnt help your heart because it creates tension to the flow of blood from your heart to the rest of the body. In case you spend 5 hours in your chair working, make sure you stand every now and then by walking to the water dispenser or around the office.
My Big Love: Like the popular TV series, dont allow yourself to love food too much but dont deprive it either. Stay healthy by eating fruits and vegetables and cutting down on junks and fats. Cholesterol is the major enemy of the heart for it clogs the arteries which prevent the blood from pumping freely.
Watch the scales - Try to slim down the body fat and maintain a healthy weight.. Consult your doctor or dietician if you are obese and find it difficult to shed the excess fat or trim down weight. Obesity and cardiovascular disease often come hand-in-hand, as excess weight places an extra burden on the heart. Think of it as an engine designed for a compact car. When the car turns into a truck, it will obviously get strained with every mile. Weighing more than 30 percent over your ideal weight can double your risk for developing heart disease.
Exercise regularly - Medical and fitness experts suggest at least a 40-minute session, three to four times a week. Start slowly if you are not used to exercising, then increase the tempo as your fitness improves. If you have any serious medical problems, or obese, you should consult a doctor first. try not to rush into a heavy exercise schedule, as this may just lead to complications.
Routine checkups - If needed, have your blood pressure checked regularly. If medication is needed to control high blood pressure, make sure you take the medication and follow any other suggestions given to you by your physician. You should also have your blood sugar levels check if you suspect you may have diabetes or if your family has a history of diabetes. People with a diabetes history are more prone to getting heart disease, and high blood pressure can be a major problem.
Stick to no one: Smoking has never been a healthy habit and it brings a lot of diseases, primarily cancer and heart illness. If youre a smoker, learn how to stop it before its too late. For non-smokers, never give time to study how to puff a stick or two. Also, its better stay away from second hand smoking because it is dangerous too.
Reduce Stress: Recent studies suggest a relationship between the risk of cardiovascular disease and environmental and psychosocial factors. Among these factors are job strain, relationship issues and social isolation. In addition, acute and chronic stress may lead to a domino effect, affecting factors such as high blood pressure and cholesterol levels, smoking, physical inactivity and overeating. Try to consciously observe when you are getting stressed and take steps to relax yourself.
Heart to heart talk: Just like the petty or big problems that we deal with our loved ones, those little pain that you feel in your chest should be diagnosed immediately. Moreover, issues like dyspnea (difficulty of breathing), anxiety, nausea, severe chest pain, elevated temperature, paleness, arrhythmias (irregularities in heart beats), and diaphoresis (profuse sweating) need professional analysis so consult your doctors immediately.
Like the saying Love yourself first before others, learn to love your heart first before another persons heart.
