Get Active
It’s no secret that exercise and physical activity is a good way to protect your heart. Getting enough exercise can help prevent cardiomyopathy or even other diseases that can overwork your heart.
However, you should not jump into a whole one hour workout right away. If you haven’t been very active, 10-15 minutes of low-impact exercises should be enough for a few weeks. Also, make sure to stretch before and after your exercise.
The goal of exercising against heart disease is not to bulk-up or gain muscles right away.
Incorporating physical fitness into your day-to-day activities, such as walking to work, can already have a positive impact on your health.
Watch what you eat
What you put in your body can influence the overall condition of your health. Although eating healthier is easier said than done, tweaking your present diet to make it heart-healthy might not be as difficult as it seems.
What makes up a heart-healthy diet?
Sometimes, what you eat isn’t all that bad. However, how much you eat is also an important consideration when it comes to diet. Too much of anything is rarely a good thing, which is why the first step to a heart-healthy diet is sticking to healthy portions of what you eat.
