Simple Ways to Maintain Heart Health

People who are constantly exposed to stress had twice the risk greater for heart attack.

Stress increases blood pressure and risk of clots, and causes the body to release the hormone cortisol, which is associated with type two diabetes and hypertension.

A Dutch study says that people aged 65 to 85 who have always had a sense of optimism and positive thinking were able to reduce the risk of death from cardiovascular disease by 23%.

The following are some simple ways you may be happy and your heart healthy :

Multiply spiritual activities.

Research shows that attending religious events can normalize your heart rate and reduce stress. Another way is to be alone and meditate. Take advantage of your time just to talk to God from the heart to contemplate. Traveled to visit scenic spots or express yourself creatively can have the same effect.

Hold the anger.

The anger can shrink blood vessels, heart pounding and blood thicken and coagulate. When faced with a situation that makes you stressed and frustrated, try to count to ten (it will change the way your brain from emotional to rational thinking), take a deep breath and do not respond to an annoying person.

Focus and finish.

Finish one job at a time. Do not ever do a lot of work at one time. So you can focus and not be burdened that will cause anger.

Avoid watching the news.

Forget the news or the bad news on television in one week alone. Your mood will be better and quieter.

A feeling of control.

Of excessive feelings against something, such as "of this work will make me die," will improve your emotions.
Laugh. Activities that will make you more relaxed blood vessels and increase blood flow by up to 25 percent.

Enough sleep.

By Warwick Medical School, women who slept five hours or less a day doubled the risk of developing hypertension than those who slept seven hours or more.

Drinking and having fun.

Try drinking one or two alcoholic drinks shot - but do not overdo it.

Listen to cheerful music.

Judging from the results of scanning through ultrasound, cheerfully pitched music could dilate the arteries by 26 percent.
