A healthy heart with an efficient vascular system is invaluable to have a long and active life. Here are four top tips to help you take care your heart, which you can start today:
– Reduce Stress with positive mind – Stress can seriously affect the heart and whether through 30 minutes of meditating or simply being with friends, reducing stress is key.
– Limit Alcohol – The heart can be damaged from drinking too much alcohol and drinking regularly. Excessive alcohol can lead to high blood pressure and cardiomyopathy problems.
– Regular Health Checks – Since the signs of cardiovascular conditions can only be detected through specialist examinations, FV doctors recommend that you should have vascular screening at least once every six months to once a year to ensure “there are no errors in your heartbeat”.
– Don’t Ignore Chest Pains – For numerous reasons chest pains can occur when we are emotional, cold or overwork, and often we simply ignore it and wait for them to pass. Chest pains however, are potential signs of a heart attack, especially if the pain lasts longer than 15 minutes, and so should not be ignored.
Having a healthy heart requires the right attention and care from yourself and medical professionals, and FV Hospital is on hand to support you.
