Seven steps for a healthy heart
Follow these seven simple tips to ensure your heart stays healthy.
- Pump your heart — For optimal health, you'll need to do enough physical activity to burn between 3,500 and 6,500 calories a week. Try at least three 20-minute cardio workouts a week.
- Know your numbers — We're talking the big three — cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar. Getting more active, losing weight and making smart food choices can help get these numbers in a healthy range.
- Establish a positive mindset — Negative emotions like anger and hostility can raise blood pressure. To get yourself in a better mindset, adopt a more positive outlook and manage daily stressors.
- Eat your heart out — When making your grocery list, follow this simple rule of thumb: opt for foods with healthful fats, fiber and nutrients like flavonoids, vitamins and minerals.
- Learn from your relatives — Even though you have a lot of control over your own heart-healthy destiny, a family history of heart disease does raise your risk significantly. So talk to your doctor about your family health history too.
- Discuss taking medicine — Certain nutrients, supplements and occasional medications can work preventive wonders for your heart. Discuss which options are best for you with your doctor.
- Catch Some ZZZs — If you don't snooze six to eight hours a night, you increase arterial aging and raise your risk of a heart attack.
