t6 Top Tips on How to Improve Your Cardiovascular Health
Heart health is crucial to our overall health and well being. We often don’t realise how important our cardiovascular system is, until something goes wrong.
.
We live fast-paced lives in this modern 21st century world. We think that since all our peers are doing that, it must be the okay thing to do…
.
…Until we suffer a stroke, or heart failure or when a loved one dies suddenly of a heart attack.
.
Few people are aware that diabetes, heart disease and cancer often go together hand-in-hand. So improving one area of your health also improves other related areas.
.
Below are 6 tips to help improve your cardiovascular health.
1. Cholesterol IS….YOUR FRIEND!
We’ve all be told that we’re at risk of developing heart disease if you have cholesterol levels. Is that really true?Contrary to what everyone says, cholesterol is CRUCIAL for optimal health.
.
All your hormones, including progesterone, estrogen and testosterone are made from cholesterol. Part of the walls of each of your billions of cells is made of cholesterol.
.
Cholesterol has been framed. How? Because it is always at the crime scene. Cholesterol patches up injured artery walls. Would you blame all firemen as the cause of the fires they fight just because they were at the scene of the fire?
.
The good news, however, is that if your cholesterol levels are high, it is because there is a great deal of patching up that your cholesterol friends are doing. This really means chronic inflammation. It also means it’s really high time to get your cardiovascular and general health in order.
.
Continue with the following tips.
2. Keep An Optimal Weight: Reduce Obesity
If you are overweight, you should aim to lose a few pounds. However, losing weight doesn’t happen overnight.
.
Start a regular exercise routine. It’s also important to slowly start reducing the amount of unhealthy food you eat to keep the pounds off for good. Aim for a healthy diet.
.
,
It is also good to consider joining like-minded groups of people interested in eating for health.
.
If you’re male, aim to consume 1,200-1,600 calories a day, and if you’re female, aim to consume 1,000-1,200 calories a day.
3. Read Nutritional Profiling Information
According to the World Health Organization, “nutrient profiling is the science of classifying or ranking foods according to their nutritional composition for reasons related to preventing disease and promoting health.”
.
It’s important to read into the nutritional profiling information so you can work on improving your own health and well-being.
.
If you don’t keep track of what you’re consuming and what the nutritional profiling information says, you’re simply not doing the best for yourself.
4. Avoid This Food Item Which Contributes to Heart Disease
Dietary habits can be changed if you are motivated enough. Here is a particular type of food which should be avoided to prevent heart/cardiovascular disease.
.
This is processed seed oils. These include rapeseed oil, canola, sunflower, peanut, safflower, corn and more. These have been extracted at high temperatures, deodorised, bleached and transformed to a form that our bodies cannot recognise.
.
Additionally, you should avoid all hydrogenated oils. In the prime position are margarine and all vegetable (cum butter) spreads.
.
When eating out, avoid all fried foods. Why? They’ve all been fried in seed oils because they’re cheap. And these oils are used and used over and over again. Bad news for your heart.
.
So what do you cook with? Non-processed coconut oil, butter, animal fat.
5. Take Premium Nutritional Supplements
We need optimum nutrients daily to keep our heart and vascular system healthy.
.
We must be realistic that we simply cannot get these in even the best organic healthy diet we eat…unless we live in the mountains far, far away from civilization. And even then, environmental pollution is catching up.
.
Keeping your arteries clear will help keep blood pressure at the optimum reading for you.
.
Magnesium is crucial for heart health. As are complex minerals. Take a plant-based bioavailable mineral supplement is important.
.
Reducing systemic inflammation is important. Curcumin, the medicinal extract from the tumeric root is one of the best.
.
To further protect our hearts, consider stem cell support supplementation. These can help stimulate your bone marrow produce adult stem cells which then can help your heart and cardiovascular system to self-heal and self-renew.
6. Relax, Relax, Relax
If you feel yourself getting too stressed out, your blood pressure will rise, without a doubt. Instead of freaking out, relax more often by meeting a friend, chilling on the couch, or meditating.
.
Stress is a killer, more so than many people realise.
To improve your cardiovascular health and your well-being, you should work on eating a natural health diet, being more relaxed, reading nutritional profiling information and taking premium nutritional supplements.
