Keep the heart healthy in any age will be helped by a number of simple rules. This is how people are advised to abandon a sedentary lifestyle and monitor their weight.

This conclusion was reached by specialists of the British Heart Foundation (BHF) after conducting relevant studies.

In addition, to reduce the risk of mortality from cardiovascular diseases can be done by regular check-ups with a doctor. You need to pay attention to your weight, blood pressure, cholesterol level, sugar, as well as the condition of your kidneys and liver.

Regardless of age, to protect your heart, you should give up smoking and ideally avoid drinking alcohol.

< p>“Alcohol in moderate quantities thins the blood, and it is with this that its cardioprotective ability is associated. However, alcohol does not protect the heart in the same way that exercise does, so we cannot recommend drinking it even occasionally,” the BHF reports.

As for nutrition, scientists advise giving preference to fruits, vegetables and legumes, as well as lean poultry and fish. Regular sports will help to maintain health.

These can be 150 minutes of training in the gym per week, as well as jogging, country walks, swimming.

“In addition, we have known for a long time that loneliness is one of the leading causes of death in the elderly. Now it has become characteristic of young people as well. One serious study conducted with the participation of patients with a heart attack showed that a very important factor in survival, along with stopping smoking, is communication and the presence of friends,” noted the University of Oxford.
