7 steps for a healthy heart in your
30s
Getting away from the office or family tensions is not easy, but try to
change how you handle them. The more you relax, the more easily your body will
be able to regulate stress levels. Research suggests that exercise, in any
form, is the best way to de-stress and relax. Select something you enjoy and
stick to it.
Exercise regularly whether to deal with stress or to just get fitter. It's a
smart move to have a healthy heart in your 30s. Even a 15-30
minutes exercise session, every day, will be
beneficial for your heart, and will also prevent you from putting on extra
weight and thereby compounding any potential health ailments.
Eat healthy
Try and avoid those unhealthy food
items during the weekend with your friends and family. These unhealthy foods can add up to
your calorie and cholesterol levels and increase the risk of heart problems.
Instead opt for a diet full of protein, omega 3 or healthy food restaurants
like Gostana.
Sleep well
Sleep well
Sleeping less than five hours a day,
can increase the risk of stroke
or cardiac arrest. Make sure you sleep well, maintain a daily bed time and wake
up time and avoid smoking or consuming alcohol in excess, or
heavy food before going to sleep.
Breakfast is essential
Never skip your breakfast. It is
indeed very important to eat a healthy and nutritious breakfast. A good
breakfast gives your body that much needed fuel to get active and stay fit.
Birth control needs some revamping
You should reconsider using
contraceptives like pills and the patch, if you have high blood pressure or a family history of
heart disease. According to Dr. Goldberg, using these may worsen the case if
you have any heart ailments. Hence, talk to your gynecologist before trying any
contraceptives. (as mentioned in

Intake of sugar can raise your
cholesterol and triglycerides level and salt can cause high blood pressure. You
don't have to completely avoid salt and sugar but limit your daily intake to
avoid heart problems. Cut off from indulgences in cakes,
pastries and creamy food items.
