Stunning Tips For A Healthier Heart

Stunning Tips For A Healthier Heart

Keeping your heart healthy and avoiding cardiac diseases is not as hard as you might think!

As-Salam International Hospital is here for you with some helpful tips to keep a healthy heart, albeit some of our tips will probably surprise you. 

More Fish and Fewer Fats

Increased Fat-intakes are not heart-friendly, as they increase your cholesterol levels and may build up on your blood vessels, raising the risk of heart attacks and other heart problems. Fish contains omega-3 fatty acids that provide your body with its needed fats and help ward off heart disease.

Better Dental Hygiene

Dental health indicates overall health, including your heart, as people with periodontal disease might have risk factors for heart disease. Many studies have shown that the bacteria involved in developing gum disease can move into the bloodstream and cause a rise in C-reactive protein (CRP). These changes may increase your risk of heart disease and stroke. So, flossing and brushing your teeth can help you indirectly avoid heart disease.

Smart Healthy Diet

A healthy diet can have several meanings, but a heart-healthy diet is probably one of the smartest diets you can plan.

For example, heart-healthy food can include chocolate, tea, coffee, nuts, fish, saturated, polyunsaturated, and unsaturated fats.

Get a doctor's consultation about the right amount of each type of food and arrange your diet accordingly.

Cardiology Check-Up Programs 

It's better safe than sorry, and no matter how much you try to keep your lifestyle healthy for your heart, you still need to get a complete heart check-up regularly. 

Heart Check-up Programs, like the one provided by As-Salam International Hospital, help you detect any risk factors at an early stage and keep your doctors aware of your heart health.
