IMPORTANT TOPICS THAT IMPACT YOUR HEART HEALTH & LOWER YOUR RISK
Are you paying attention to your health risk?
Lowering your risk for CVD (cardiovascular disease) is critical in preventing heart attacks and strokes. Making modifications to your diet and engaging in regular exercise can greatly impact reducing your mortality risk.
Studies have consistently shown strong evidence that increasing your intake of vegetables and fiber, while decreasing saturated fats and processed foods, can be extremely beneficial. The diet most frequently recommended in research is one that is rich in fiber and vegetables, often including more fish, nuts, and olive oil to promote heart health.
Moreover, it's crucial not to overlook the profound impact of exercise on improving your health. Ongoing studies continue to reveal the positive effects that exercise and active lifestyles have on preventing diseases such as heart disease, stroke, metabolic syndrome, and type II diabetes. Additionally, exercise plays a significant role in promoting longevity, particularly functional longevity, and in preventing injuries or long-term disabilities.
Check out these PoPLab notes to drill down on some of the key indicators that you should be paying attention to regarding your risk.
