Jakarta: Every September 29 is observed as World Heart Day. Heart disease is one of the most dangerous diseases.
As much as possible we should do a healthy lifestyle to avoid heart disease. What are the factors that can affect heart health?
The following are factors that can affect a person’s heart health Reader’s Digest:
1. Very little sleep time
When you rest your body will work to repair DNA, increase vitamin levels, and produce antioxidants. A recent study that studied 15,000 people over 14 years found that those who had a healthy lifestyle (exercise, nutritious diet, moderate alcohol, not smoking) had a 67 percent lower risk of dying from heart disease. And if they got enough sleep, they had an 83 percent lower risk of heart disease.
2. Too little happy
Researchers found that the happiest and most optimistic people had a third lower risk of heart disease than other people. Optimistic and happy people look forward to the future and tend to prepare for a healthier lifestyle.
3. Too much air pollution
Chemicals in polluted air can increase inflammation in the body and increase oxidation, hardening of important organs, one of which is the heart. Scientists in Vancouver, British Columbia, found that increased traffic and noise pollution was associated with a 6 percent increase in heart disease-related deaths over nearly ten years.
4. Too much heavy metal poison
Three-quarters of people have high levels of chemicals such as lead, mercury and cadmium, which can poison enzymes in the body. For this reason, eat a diet rich in dark green leafy vegetables such as kale and collard greens, which help the liver in eliminating these toxins.
5. Too much stress
Excessive stress can increase cortisol and adrenaline, which make blood sugar rise and cause blood vessels to harden. This will also ultimately affect heart health.
