5 Simple Habits for a Healthier Heart

Heart disease remains one of the leading health concerns worldwide, but the good news is that many risk factors are within your control. Here are five simple habits our doctors recommend:

1. Move every day

Just 30 minutes of brisk walking, five days a week, meaningfully lowers cardiovascular risk.

2. Watch your salt intake

Excess sodium contributes to high blood pressure — a major risk factor for heart disease.

3. Sleep well

Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night to help regulate blood pressure and stress hormones.

4. Get regular checkups

Routine ECGs and blood pressure checks catch problems early, when they are most treatable.

5. Manage stress

Chronic stress is linked to higher blood pressure and unhealthy coping habits. Make time to unwind.
