Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in the Thai population and is also the origin of other serious illnesses. Fortunately, according to a naturopath Kate Ferguson, heart diseases can be prevented just by knowing the risk factors. Let’s first get to know the heart.
The heart is a muscular organ as big as a fist and beats about 100,000 times a day. If we do not take good care of it, we may be vulnerable to other diseases.
• Manage the risks
1. Stop smoking because smoking increases the chance of getting a heart attack by 3 times.
2. Check your blood pressure and cholesterol regularly and work out.
3. Reduce fat and salt intake because the higher intake of fat increases the risk of developing heart diseases.
• Take care of your heart
It is not difficult to have a strong and healthy heart. Let’s have a look at the options.
1. Control blood circulation and reduce triglycerides with omega-3 fatty acid.
2. Control cholesterol level with high fiber grains.
3. Eat balanced diet and increase antioxidant level in the body. Reduce cholesterol with diets intake rich in fruits, vegetables, garlic and chocolate.
4. Exercise regularly because exercise strengthens the heart
5. Protect your bones and nourish the heart with vitamin B6 and B12.
See how we can easily take good care of the heart? And, do not forget to take vitamin B for a healthy heart.
