February is National Heart Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about cardiovascular health. Srihari S. Naidu, M.D., professor of medicine, shares nine valuable tips to support your heart's well-being.
Nine Tips to Support Your Heart's Well-Being
- Eat a healthy diet combination of fruits, vegetables, and lean protein to maintain an ideal body weight.
- Stay active, preferably with activities, but alternatively at the gym, with a combination of some cardio and some resistance work.
- Avoid the deadly habits of smoking, excessive alcohol, and illicit drugs.
- Get plenty of sleep usually seven to eight hours a night, and find the hours of sleep that work best for your energy level.
- Minimize stress in life by balancing work and life and obligations as best you can.
- Manage your cholesterol and blood pressure initially with lifestyle changes. If it's not working in a few months, then medications are the best way.
- Get checked for diabetes, especially if you are overweight or have a family history.
- Take your medications to control risk factors and make sure to get to your cardiology appointments regularly.
- Know the signs of a heart attack or vascular disease such as stroke or blockages in the legs, and don't delay if any unusual or worrisome symptoms - early and prompt treatment is the best treatment.
