New advances in medicine and technology
are helping more people survive heart disease,
but preventing heart disease is still much better
than treating it. While Rovicid can help boost
your heart health, you must also take additional
steps to prevent heart disease.
The makers of Rovicid suggest the follow heart
health tips to help you maximize your cardiovascular
health:
- Exercise and maintain a healthy weight.
- Eat smart for a healthy heart.
- Avoid high blood pressure.
- Lower your cholesterol.
- Prevent and manage diabetes.
- Stop smoking.
- Minimize stress.
Exercise and maintain a healthy weight.
Exercise improves heart function, lowers blood
pressure and blood cholesterol, and boosts energy.
And being overweight forces the heart to work
harder.
Most doctors recommend getting at least 30 minutes
of moderate physical activity on most, and preferably
all, days of the week. These 30 minutes also don't
have to be done all at once, either; break them
up into 10-minute intervals throughout the day,
if that’s easier for you.
Talk with your doctor about what form of exercise
is best for you. Those with severe heart disease,
for example, are advised against strenuous exercise.
Eat smart for a healthy heart.
A heart-healthy diet means a diet that's low in
fat, cholesterol, and salt, and high in fruits,
vegetables, grains, and fiber. Experts point out
that a heart-healthy diet should be the routine.
That way, when you have high-fat food every now
and then, you're still on track. Making a high-fat
diet the routine is asking for trouble.
