Why Heart Health is Important?

Do you ever know how your heart functions? The heart is roughly the size of a fist and sits in the middle of your chest, slightly to the left. Heart pumps blood around your body as your heart beats. This blood sends oxygen and nutrients to all parts of your body and carries away unwanted carbon dioxide and waste products.

What is a healthy heart rate? A normal resting heart rate for adults range from 60 to 100 beats per minute. In general, a lower heart rate at rest implies more efficient heart function and better cardiovascular fitness.

  • To measure your heat rate, simply check your pulse. Place your index and third fingers on your neck to the side of your windpipe.
  • To check your pulse at your wrist, place two finger between the bone and the tendon over your radial artery, which is located the thumb side of your wrist.
  • When you feel your pulse, count the number of beats in 15 seconds.
  • Multiply this number by four to calculate your beats per minute

 

It is important to maintain heart health to prevent heart related diseases which include heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure etc. Leading a heart-healthy lifestyle can improve your heart function and reduce the risk of heart disease.

So, what are the ways to improve heart health?

  1. Ensure balance calories intake

The calories intake daily through eating and drinking should equal the calories we use through physical activity and our body’s other energy needs, for example breathing, digesting food, and sleeping. A rule of thumb is that one mile of brisk walking uses about 100 calories. Walking and exercise allow us to breathe deeply and make our heart stronger, reduce the risk of heart disease and reduce levels of LDL (“bad” cholesterol) as bad cholesterol can clog the arteries and cause a heart attack.

  1. Reach for a variety of fruits and vegetables

It is vital to include fruits and vegetables that are good for heart in our meal. The high antioxidant content of strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries helps to greatly reduce the risk of heart disease. Red, yellow, and orange veggies such as carrots, sweet potatoes, red peppers, tomatoes that are packed with carotenoids, fiber and vitamins play a central role in heart health too. Hence, it is vitally important to include heart healthy food in daily diet.

  1. Subtract added sugar

Excess sugar can increase the risk of heart disease, both directly and indirectly. High amount of sugar overload the liver while the liver metabolizes sugar the same way as alcohol and converts dietary carbohydrates to fat. This could lead to a greater accumulation of fat which may turn into fatty liver disease, a contributor to diabetes which will indirectly raises the risk for heart disease.
