Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. With this statistic, it is important to create heart health routines that keep us healthy. Jane Clauss gives three simple tips on implementing a heart smart routine into daily life.
1-Bypass the elevator and take the stairs
Taking the stairs is a great and easy way to get your heart rate elevated and your blood pumping. The American Heart Association recommends at least thirty minutes of exercise every day and taking the stairs is a great way to get your steps and exercise in. Using the stairs can help prevent heart disease, lower your risk of stroke, improve blood pressure, and improve mood by boosting endorphins. This is a simple method to do everyday to help improve heart health.
2-Cut out junk food
In order to live a heart healthier life, cut out junk food from your diet. Include nutrient dense foods like fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts, seeds, whole grains, and legumes to help maintain blood pressure and cholesterol. Avoid foods with high amounts of saturated or trans fat, salt, and sugar. Junk food can raise blood pressure, cholesterol, and lead to obesity which can cause heart disease.
3-Regular Screenings
Scheduling regular health screenings with your doctor is important to managing heart health. Checking blood pressure, sugar levels, and cholesterol levels can catch problems early and get you back on track before your heart health deteriorates. Regular screenings can catch high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and obesity and can help them be controlled to maintain heart health.
These simple health hacks can lead to a healthier heart and a better life. Make sure to talk with your doctor to set up regular health screenings in order to live a healthier life.
