Take Your Heart Seriously…

It’s no secret that heart disease is the No.1 killer in the world. If you are smart and committed to change, you can take control of your health and begin your journey to longevity.

Eat Right Everyday

This involves taking inventory of your diet, from what you buy at the grocery store, to what you eat in the restaurants, to what you grab and eat on the go.

You have to revamp and replace all the toxic, preservative-laden processed foods with healthy, fresh foods. Reduce carbohydrate intake, replace red meat with fish, take fresh fruits instead of cakes.

Get Fit For Life

Set up a sound fitness plan to get your health back on track. Exercise is a powerful “medicine”, besides preventing heart diseases, it can even help people with existing heart problems. So get up and get moving!

Manage Your Stress

Stress and anger increase the release of stress hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol. These have natural effects of increasing blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar; causing heartbeat to become rapid and increasing the “stickiness” of your platelets. This would raise the likelihood of a blood clot. How well you handle stress is key to keeping your stress hormones and stress response under control.

The key to optimal heart health requires a multi-prong approach. Besides maintaining a healthy lifestyle, staying cheerful and having a positive state of mind play a very crucial role as well. Take time to smell the flowers, have a glass of wine with your loved ones…..  you’ll find yourself on the road to a healthy heart.
