Promoting Heart Health

A healthy heart stems from more than just genetics, lifestyle choices such as diet choices and physical activity can make a big impact on the heart. Healthy dietary choices can be hard to make. However, a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats can reduce your risk of heart-related illnesses by 14 to 21 percent.  

Promoting Heart Health

Diet

Not only does your diet impact your heart but can reduce inflammation, lower cholesterol, and support your cardiovascular function. Limiting processed foods, sugar, and excess sodium is important in lowering your risk of heart disease and high blood pressure which in turn improves the overall well-being of your cardiovascular system.

Exercise

Physical activity increases your overall health but with regular physical activity, you can strengthen your heart, improve your circulation, and enhance your cardiovascular fitness. Any physical activity such as walking, jogging, cycling, or swimming for at least two and a half hours a week can greatly reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke. There are multiple perks outside of cardiovascular health that exercise provides to overall health including improved mood, reduction in stress, and maintaining a balance between physical and mental health. Prioritizing a good diet and an active lifestyle you can empower yourself to protect your heart health.
