What can women do to prevent heart disease?

There are actually several things that you can start doing right now to begin taking care of your heart.

 

Create a routine exercise that you can do daily

 

This doesn’t have to be anything massive but even 30 minutes of exercise daily can help strengthen your heart. Go for a walk, a run or even get out your bicycle.

If you smoke, stop

Smoking, although addictive, is quite dangerous for your heart health. It puts a strain on your blood vessels and reduces the flow of oxygen which then, in turn, can cause stress on your heart.

 

Put good foods into your body

 

It can literally be as simple as that. Fill your plates and your tummies with fruits and vegetables so that you can maintain a healthy weight and get nutrients from your food each and every day.

Now that you know that you have a bit of control over the health of your heart, it’s time to start implementing changes as soon as you possibly can.

Why Can’t I Lose Weight: 9 Frustrating Reasons You May Be Missing

1. Portion Distortion Measure and record  everything  you put in your mouth: the amount, the ingredients, etc. Try using a free app like  My Fitness Pal  to give you a breakdown of your daily calories, fat intake, sugar intake, etc. Do this for at least a week and then take a look at your numbers. I like to divide my plate into fractions: 1/4 lean protein 1/4 or less complex carbohydrates like sweet potatoes, quinoa, brown rice All the rest should greens, and non starchy vegetables Seeing everything broken down can really be eye-opening. You may be consuming way more than you thought you were. 2. Too Much Restaurant Food If you eat a lot of your meals out, you have another tricky dieting problem. It’s very hard to know  just what  is going into your restaurant meal, what kinds of oils are used for cooking, and how much butter goes into your meal. Even if you do order a healthy meal, restaurant portion sizes are almost always way more than you need. Make up your mind that you will take

1. DRINK A GLASS OF WATER FIRST THING IN THE MORNING Coffee’s great too, but it’s best to start your day by re-hydrating with a full glass of water. Hydrating first thing in the morning helps to aid digestion, enhance skin health and boost energy. 2. TAKE THE STAIRS Taking the stairs instead of the elevator is a simple way to get a little more physical activity in your daily life. It also strengthens and tones your legs and core while you’re at it! 3. MAKE HALF YOUR PLATE VEGGIES A simple hack for healthy eating (and portion control) is to make half your plate veggies at each meal. 4. GET A FITBIT & TRACK YOUR STEPS Using a Fitbit (we like the Ionic and Versa ) to track your steps is an easy way to make sure you’re getting enough physical activity. We aim for 10,000 steps each day , which has significant physical and mental health benefits. The Fitbit will also remind you to get 250 steps each hour (another important measure of health—see tip #9!). 5. SWITCH TO NONTOXIC HOUSEHOLD
