The Dhaka Times Desk Experts say there are many activities in everyday life that can increase your risk of heart disease.
Heart disease is the most common cause of death in the world every year. However, people are not aware of heart disease. But experts say there are many activities in everyday life that can increase the risk of heart disease. A proper diet and lifestyle can help reduce this risk.
Sustained sitting: Those with mainly active lifestyles have twice the risk of developing heart problems compared to those who do not exercise enough and sit for 5 hours or more per day. Even if you have to sit in front of a desk all day for work, you should walk at least 5 minutes every hour. This small change in daily routine will keep your arteries flexible and blood circulation normal.
Excessive drinking: Drinking too much alcohol can lead to high blood pressure, stroke and obesity. All of these increase the risk of heart disease.
Dental Care: Dental care is not only important for your dental health. A 2014 study published in the Journal of Periodontal Research found that cardiovascular problems were less common in people with heart disease who took proper dental care.
Eating too much salt: Too much sodium can also cause high blood pressure, which can increase the risk of heart disease. Not only is excess salt added when eating, processed foods, soups, frozen meals, chips, and other salty snacks also contain large amounts of salt. According to experts, no more than 1500 mg of sodium should be consumed per day.
Inadequate sleep: The heart works hard throughout the day. So without enough sleep, the circulatory system doesn't get the rest it needs. Prolonged sleep deprivation can cause cortisol and adrenaline levels to rise at alarming rates, tantamount to excessive stress. So experts suggest that adults need at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep a day. Source: Anandabazar Patrika.
