In the 21st century, it isn’t hard to be one among the people who suffer from heart disease, at least by the changes in the food we eat to the air we smoke. It poses a risk of heart issues indeed to all of us. But now, if you begin to act on the matter, we might get sidelined by its impacts. Read on and see the ways to curb it from coming your way. 

• Walk towards activeness.

The less obese our body is, we are away from the diseases, and it doesn’t mean the thin inactive buts are highly safe. Keeping the body active keeps the organs in check. The more we are in the rest position, we get stagnant. Have you been inactive for a long time now? Start with an exercise program after consulting your doctor. 

• Keep in check the anger and stress.

Are you the one who got angry yesterday? And in the stress of the work, you had last night? Don’t flare both the anxiety and anger together in any way; the blood pressure is sure to reach the levels that may be out of the mark that you don’t want it to happen. So, keep them controlled as it isn’t good for your health. Especially not if you don’t wish to heart diseases,

• Do you know about the heart-healthy diet?

We aren’t what our life looks like. We ate as we came and were being fed. Advertisements allured us, and it went in our stomachs, but after all the yum taste it gave, it left us with increased cholesterol levels. Is that what we wanted? Didn’t you know it comes with risk for taste? Change the lifestyle with heart-healthy foods.

Eat salmon or tuna as it comes with the benefits of omega three acids. Why not include poultry eggs for some protein in the modest portions possible? Say no to fats and cholesterol-high foods! Welcome foods such as fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, beans, and grains with fiber to keep the heart healthy by saying goodbye to the salt and sugars of excess quantities.

• No more increasing BP.

Reports say that more than 50 million people fall into increasing BP for reasons that anger them. We are sure to be in the count. Control adding a lot of salt in the food. Exercise and a healthy diet is a way to go about this! Are you snoring in your sleep? Test it, please, for sleep apnea! As you treat the condition, your body gets apt to control BP.

• Smoke no more!

Have you been a chain smoker by now? Indeed, a heart attack is the first disease one may sooner approach. And the worst part is, you are more prone to die from that than those who don’t smoke. Hold a tight hand and drop those cigarettes in the bin. 

• Cut loose the weight.

What is the link between weight and heart? The fat in the blood, called triglycerides, is coming from the extra fat you prefer to carry on the body. And indeed, the increase in the blood sugar levels in the body can risk the heart from nowhere other than the fats in the body. Do you want to increase your weight or get in shape? Decide, and we suggest cutting it loose.

• Maintain a healthy cholesterol level.

As mentioned above, the unhealthy triglycerides in the blood with over a value of 150 and LDL cholesterol in the level above 160 and HDL cholesterol level under the weight of 40, totally acting to cholesterol above 200, can put you at risk of diseases of the heart. 

Overall the maintenance of cholesterol and other factors decides if you could avoid heart health diseases. But cholesterol is one of the factors; cut it down by involving in a diet with no trans fat, saturated fats, and sweetened sugars by going high in fibers. 

• Test for heart risk if you have diabetes.

We know that diabetes is prone to come when our body no longer generates insulin or our bladder is no longer using the insulin. That’s when our body is vulnerable to viruses as our immune system is weak now. If other viruses can attack you, then the risk of heart disease isn’t any smaller. So get a check for any issues related to the heart. 

Final Thoughts

We tend to neglect our food habits, and that’s the reason why the heart is at risk more than ever. Our food that comes now may be adulterated and have elements that don’t favor the body. And mainly, we are sitting like lazy donkeys, increasing the body weight and making the body sluggish even to perform everyday chores. Motivate yourself up above all these and live towards a healthy lifestyle to get everything in control and live disease-free.
