When a person experiences the first signs of heart disease is when they become motivated to make these lifestyle changes. Those wishing to prevent heart disease need to avoid tobacco smoke including not smoking or exposing yourself to second-hand smoke, reducing stress levels, monitor and control high blood pressure or blood cholesterol, becoming physically active everyday, and taking steps to obtain a normal body weight for your height. It is also beneficial to drink alcohol in moderation, and manage any diseases such as diabetes mellitus.
Reversing Heart DiseaseThe arterioles regulate the blood flow throughout the body and when they constrict the heart has to work harder in order to pump blood where it is needed in the body. As the arterioles constrict, pressure builds up within the vessels, which can lead to heart disease. Reversing Heart Disease |
Sometimes the best motivation is to visit a hospital ward where individuals are dying of heart disease to witness first-hand what happens when you do not do anything to reduce your controllable risks for heart disease.
Look around at your loved ones, your home-life, your career and ask yourself if you are willing to give all these things up for the privilege of smoking one more cigarette?
Discuss your risk factors with a doctor so that you can find ways to control those things you can and learn to accept the risk factors such as age and family history that are out of your control.
Your doctor can suggest meal and snack plans that will put you on the path to eating heart-healthy foods. Your doctor can also suggest appropriate exercise programs that will fit your desires, lifestyle and budget. Exercising doesn’t have to involve expensive equipment or time at a gym. You can exercise in the comfort of your home by taking walks, swimming in a local pool or your own backyard pool, or by playing catch with your child or a neighborhood child. You can choose to take the stairs instead of the elevator, and to park the farthest parking spot away from the front entrance.
