Currently maintaining a healthy heart is crucial for overall well-being. Here are some key strategies which should be followed regularly.
Healthy food habits
Focus on fruits and Vegetables: Aim for a variety of colors and types. Choose whole grain bread, pasta, and brown rice. Include fish, poultry, legumes, and nuts. Opt for sources like olive oil, avocados, and fatty fish (like salmon). Reduce red meat and processed foods.
- Stay active
Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity (like walking or cycling) or 75 minutes of vigorous activity (like running) each week. Incorporate muscle-strengthening activities at least twice a week.
- Healthy weight
Keep a healthy weight for your height and body type. Focus on a sustainable approach to weight management.
- Manage stress
Consider meditation, yoga, or deep-breathing exercises. Maintain a strong support network of friends and family. Listen to music and dance to reduce the stress level.
- Avoid tobacco and alcohol
Seek support if you need help quitting. If you drink, do so in moderation up to one drink per day for women and two for men.
- Good sleep
Prioritize quality sleep each night to support overall health. Sleeping 6 to 8 hours every day keeps us healthy, wealthy and wise.
