 When it comes to keeping your heart healthy, your lifestyle can make a big difference. How you eat, your exercise and sleeping habits, and where you direct your thoughts all impact your heart in one way or another. The keys to keeping your heart healthy and strong are found in everyday habits. Here are some everyday habits you can start right now to take good care of that heart that takes such good care of you:
• Reduce the fat in your diet. Know which foods are high in fat, especially snacks and other processed or packaged foods. Try to avoid saturated fats and foods with more than 30% of their total calories from fat. An easy rule of thumb is to make sure there are no more than three grams of fat per 100 calories.
• Exercise regularly. Research has shown that burning 2,000 calories through exercise over a week’s time will provide the greatest benefit.
• Don’t smoke. Smoking sets the stage for heart disease. It may damage blood vessels and casue irregular heartbeats called arrhythmias.
• Learn to manage stress. Too much stress can cause health problems, and has been linked to cardiovascular disease. Learn to have more fun, live lightly, breathe deeply, enjoy nature, treasure the moments… add relaxation to your life.
• Drink Pure Camu™ daily.Vitamin C helps the body maintain proper serotonin levels. Serotonin helps tone the cardiovascular system and balance mood. Proper levels of serotonin are important for a healthy heart.*
