Research shows that sleeplessness triggers diabetes, obesity and high blood pressure, and as a result, heart diseases occur. Idi Sleep deprivation can do more than allow you to stretch during the day; may damage heart health. People who cannot sleep well are at increased risk of obesity, high blood pressure, heart attacks, diabetes and depression. Adults need 7 to 9 hours of sleep at every night.

If you wake up without an alarm clock and feel refreshed, you're asleep enough. However, if you constantly press the snooze button and struggle to get out of bed, this is an indication that you need more sleep. Make sleep a priority in your life. Set up a sleep program for yourself and be sure to follow it. Keep your bedroom dark and quiet. This makes it easier for you to sleep. If you think you've had enough sleep, but you're still tired all day, ask your doctor if you need sleep.

Cardiovascular risk decreases one year after smoking cessation!

Hamidi continued: “The chemicals in tobacco lead to plaque formation in the arteries, causing atherosclerosis, which causes atherosclerosis, and atherosclerosis causes damage to many organs, especially heart attacks. Carbon monoxide in cigarette smoke alters some of the oxygen in your blood.

This increases your blood pressure and heart rate by forcing your heart to work harder to provide enough oxygen. In the prevention of heart diseases, every amount of cigarettes is harmful, but the more you drink, the greater the risk. The good news is that soon after you quit, the risk of heart disease begins to decrease.

Eat nuts, olives and fish instead of chips and cookies

Stressing that regular exercise daily may reduce your risk of heart disease. Mehmet Hamidi suggested healthy eating: diyet A diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains can help protect your heart. Aim to eat legumes, low-fat or non-fat dairy products, lean meat and fish as part of a healthy diet. Do not have too much salt and sugar in your diet. Try to limit or prevent saturated fat and trans fats from the types of fat.

The main saturated fat sources are red meat, whole milk products, coconut and palm oils. The main sources of trans fat are fried foods, bakery products, packaged junk food, margarines, crackers, chips and cookies. However, you do not need to cut all fats from your diet. Avocado, nuts, healthy oils obtained from vegetable sources such as olives and olive oil help your heart by lowering bad cholesterol. Consuming two or more fish omega acids a week, such as salmon and tuna, helps to reduce the risk of heart disease.

If your belly is fat, your heart is in danger!

Being overweight increases your risk of heart disease, especially if it is more around your belly button. En Hamidi, “Excess weight, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes, including diabetes can lead to diseases that increase your risk of heart disease. The condition, defined as the metabolic syndrome, characterized by a combination of fat around the navel, high blood pressure, high blood sugar and high triglycerides, also increases the risk of heart disease.

One way to see if your weight is healthy is to calculate your body mass index, which takes into account your height and weight in determining whether you have a healthy or unhealthy body fat percentage. If the body mass index is 25 and higher it is usually associated with higher cholesterol, high blood pressure and increased risk of heart disease and stroke. In this respect, body mass index is a good but inadequate guide. For example, muscle is heavier than fat, and men and women who are very muscular and physically fit can have a high body mass index without a high health risk. Therefore, measuring waist circumference may be a more useful tool to measure fat around your belly.
