Getting Healthy Heart With The 10 Tips

1. Stop smoking today:
   If you smoke now and you quit today, the Canadian Heart and Stroke Foundation suggest you are 50% less likely to have a heart attack in a year's time. So, why not stop and feel the fresh air outdoors once more?


2. Cut down on salt:
   By eating less salt, it can help lower blood cholesterol points and blood pressure. This can help reduce the risk of heart disease. The British Heart Foundation has recently advised not adding any more salt to your food.


3. Keep a check on your diet:
   Eating too much fat is not a good idea. Some fats are linked to heart disease. Keep in mind that any calories extra we eat above our needs is part of the reason you can become overweight, which in turn leads to an unhealthy heart. Try to keep your diet healthy.


4. Watch your alcohol intake:
   If you enjoy a glass of wine or a bottle of beer, remember to do everything in moderation. Remember a glass of wine (125ml) can equate to 85 calories alone.


5. Become more active:
   Regular exercise is going to help you keep your weight down. 30 minutes of exercise per day is enough to help you protect your heart. Try to make exercise a higher priority and fit it in during the day.


6. Control and manage your weight:
   According the British Heart Foundation, the weight that increases on your body year on year is highly problematic in relation to heart and cardiac conditions. Keep an eye on this as extra weight can cause back problems, sleeping irritation and mobility problems in relation to the joints in the body.
   
7. Monitor your blood pressure and cholesterol points :
   Certain types of cholesterol can cause arteries within your body to clog up, thus which can cause blood supply cutting off, which leads to a heart attack. There are many low cholesterol options these days in margarine, milk, yogurts and cheese. The main thing is to keep good portion control and seek advice from your Doctor.
   You can help lower your cholesterol level by exercising and eating high fiber foods.


8. Learn to relax more:
   If you are feeling too stressed, you are more likely to eat more, exercise less and worsen your immune system. Exercise, such as walking, can be very relaxing.


9. Research into family history:
   If you have a family history of coronary artery disease, you should be under more careful surveillance, you should be sensitive to any symptoms of chest pain when you exercise and be very proactive with other modifiable risk factors.


10. Know the signs and get your health back on track:
    It is important to understand about the early signs of heart disease, such as tightness of the chest, pains in your chest, neck or stomach. If you have these symptoms it is worth going to see a Doctor.
