From breakfast to dinner/ 6 habits that are good for the heart

Every moment of the day can be an opportunity to take care of our heart. All we need to do is follow a few simple habits:

Energize your body

What you eat for breakfast sets the tone for your day. Choose a breakfast rich in fruits and vegetables. The DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) eating plan recommends 4-5 servings of fruits and vegetables per day to reduce your risk of heart disease. This may sound like a lot, but it's easier than it looks.

Brush and floss your teeth.

Good dental hygiene isn’t just about oral hygiene; it’s also important for heart health. Plaque buildup in the mouth can contribute to chronic inflammation and enter the bloodstream, increasing your risk of heart disease. Brush your teeth twice a day and floss daily. A recent study published in the American Journal of Medicine found that brushing your teeth once a day and visiting the dentist once a year can reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease by up to 14%.

Stay hydrated.

Water is essential for overall health, but it also helps your heart function better. When you don't drink enough water, your heart has to work harder, which can increase your risk of heart disease.

Get moving.

Exercise is one of the best things you can do for your heart, but it shouldn't be excessive. A brisk morning walk, a little yoga, or a low-intensity workout at home can help get your blood flowing. One study found that people who exercise early in the morning have better cardiorespiratory fitness, reducing their risk of heart disease. Aim for 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise per week or 75 minutes of vigorous activity.

Relax with meditation before bed

Like deep breathing, meditation can help lower your heart rate and relax your blood vessels. Even 5 minutes of meditation before bed can make a difference.

Prioritize sleep.

Poor sleep and lack of it have a negative impact on cardiovascular health. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to help your body recover./CNA
