Sleep For Seven Or More Hours
In 2014, research was published on the habits of people they’ve been studying for more than 10 years. It was proven that getting at least 7 hours of sleep each night will significantly increase the odds of having a healthy heart. Deep sleep releases chemicals that lower the heart rate and blood pressure. Not getting enough sleep can increase the risk of heart problems by 58%.
Keep Your Stress In Check
When you are very stressed, your breathing becomes quicker, your muscles tense, and your heart rate speeds up. All these things can have serious implications for your heart health. Chronic stress will eat away at your heart over time, even if you don’t generally have a prior risk of heart disease. There is a difference between feeling a normal amount of stress or anxiety as opposed to having chronic stress problems. Participating in stress-relieving activities every day for 10-15 minutes can seriously help chronic stress.
