Eat More Fruits And Veggies
It’s not a question of which fruits and veggies are good for the heart. It’s more of a question of which fruits and veggies you’re going to eat to keep your heart healthy. Studies have shown that five servings – about 2.5 cups – of fruits and veggies a day can lower the risk of heart disease. 10 servings can decrease the risk of heart disease by 28% and the risk of premature death by 31%.
Cut Back On The TV Binging
In 2015, there was data released after 20 years of studying 70,000 women. At the beginning of the study, almost each of those women suffered from diabetes or heart disease. By the end of it, most of them cut their risk of a heart attack by a whopping 92%! One habit they all had in common was they limited their TV watching to 7 hours a week. When you spend too much time watching TV, you’re spending less time exercising in favor of staying still. In fact, watching TV four 4 hours a day has been proven to be more dangerous than sitting at a desk job all day.
