Say NO to Smoking!
One of the best cures for heart disease is prevention. Making lifestyle choices to help prevent the onset of this issue can seem boring or like a drag, but it does not have to be that way. The truth is that you will be opening new doors to other alternatives by avoiding things that will contribute to poor health in your later years.
• Say NO to smoking!
o This does not mean just smoke one or two a day … it means no smoking at all. Any amount of smoking increases your risk. Choosing never to take up the habit will go a long way toward avoiding a heart problem. Stop this habit before it even starts!
• Move!
o Get up out of the chair. Get up off the couch and get your blood pumping. Thirty minutes to an hour’s worth of exercise a day is recommended, but even 30 minutes broken up into ten-minute segments throughout the day will benefit you. Find something you enjoy. You will be more likely to stick with it if you like what you are doing. Take dance lessons! Start going for bike rides! Add exercise into your life in small ways. Park as far from the store as you can in the parking lot. Take the stairs instead of elevators or escalators. Little things will add up to a healthy lifestyle.
• Eat right!
o Exercise and eating right will benefit you overall and also greatly increase your chances of avoiding heart disease. Watch the types of fat that are in the food you eat. Make a habit of adding fresh fruits and vegetables to your diet. Try to limit alcohol intake to one or two drinks per day. Try a variety of different healthy foods. Find ones you like and do not get stuck in a rut.
• Keep it healthy!
o Chances are that if you are exercising daily and eating right, this one will naturally fall into place. Try to keep a good weight for your height and body type. If weight is already an issue but heart disease has not set in yet, try to get the weight off before high blood pressure and high cholesterol become an issue. Even losing just ten percent of your body weight will lower your chances of developing a heart problem.
• Get to know your doctor!
o Regular check-ups help catch problems in their early stages making them easier to treat. Make regular appointments to have your blood pressure and cholesterol checked. The frequency of those check-ups will most likely depend on your current health and family’s history of heart disease.
Heart disease is a highly preventable health issue if you are willing to make the necessary choices in your life. Educate yourself and those around you in your family to get everyone involved in making healthy life choices. Keeping things fun and enjoyable will make you more likely to stick with healthy habits. And healthy habits will lead to a healthy heart.
