Do you have a top ten list? What is it? There are a lot out there, especially with the popularity of David Letterman and his late night talk show where he gives his own unique top ten lists every night. And while his lists are often light-hearted, funny, and sometimes irrelevant, here’s a list worth paying attention to. It’s the “Top Ten Tips for a Healthy Heart.” So here it goes.
1. Stop Smoking. Apparently this is the most important thing you can do to help your heart and at the same time live longer.
2. Stop eating so much salt. Salt increases your blood pressure, which increases the risk of developing heart disease.
3. Watch your diet. You might be nodding your head, thinking this one’s a no brainer. Just do not forget about it.
4. Monitor your alcohol. Too much of it will damage the heart muscle and can also increase blood pressure.
5. Watch your weight.
6. Exercise. Your heart muscle needs to stay fit so it can pump effectively.
7. Check your blood pressure and cholesterol regularly.
8. Manage your stress.
9. Check your family history. You are more at risk if there has been a problem in the family.
10. Recognize early warning signs. These signs include tightness or discomfort in chest, neck, arm, or stomach.
Keep this list with you and follow each one and your heart will be healthier.
