Sleep For Seven Or More Hours
In 2014, researchers published on the habits of people they’d been studying for over 10 years. Their studies showed that of all of the habits these people showed, it was proven that getting at least seven hours of sleep per night will significantly increase the odds of having a healthy and disease-free heart. Deep sleep ignites chemicals that lower your heart rate and blood pressure, so not getting enough rest can increase your risk of heart problems by fifty-eight percent.
Keep Your Stress In Check
When you’re experiencing high levels of stress, your breaths get shorter, your muscles get tenser, and your heart rate gets faster. All of these things are results of stress, but they can have serious implications on your heart health. Chronic stress will eat away at your heart over time, even if in general you have no prior risk of heart problems. There is a difference between feeling a normal level of stress or anxiety and having chronic stress problems; chronic stress has intense effects on your heart health. Participating in stress-relieving activities for ten to fifteen minutes per day can help tremendously.
