3 Ways to Boost Your Heart Health

Heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that heart disease causes 1 in every 5 deaths. Heart disease refers to several different types of heart conditions. Coronary artery disease caused by plaque buildup in the walls of the heart’s arteries is the most common. Other forms of heart disease include heart attack, heart failure, arrhythmia and congenital heart defects.

A healthy diet and lifestyle are the best ways to fight heart disease, so consider incorporating these three types of exercise into your routine to improve your heart health:

1. Aerobic exercise improves circulation and can help your cardiac output. Get at least 30 minutes a day of heart -pumping moderate activity like brisk walking, dancing or cycling at least five days a week.

2. Resistance training with weights, bands or body weight at least two nonconsecutive days per week can help create leaner muscle mass. When paired with aerobic activity, you can raise your good cholesterol levels and lower bad cholesterol levels.

The symptoms of heart disease can vary, and some people may not even know they have a heart condition until they have a heart attack. Red flags include shortness of breath, chest discomfort, difficulty with speech, heart palpitations and sudden loss of responsiveness.

Exercise Your Way to a Healthier Heart

Certain uncontrollable factors increase your risk of heart disease, including age, sex and family history. However, other factors that increase your risk for heart disease such as stress, inactivity, obesity, diabetes, smoking and a poor diet are controllable.

3. Flexibility workouts (e.g., stretching and balance) are critical for musculoskeletal health. It’s important to stay flexible and free from joint pain so you can maintain your regular aerobic and resistance workouts.

Keep in mind that the overall pattern of your life choices can determine your heart health. Contact a health care professional to find out your risk for heart disease or for more information.

Nip Seasonal Allergies in the Bud

Nip Seasonal Allergies in the Bud

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that onequarter (25.7%) of adults suffer from seasonal allergies. Springtime allergies are an annual nuisance for many people as plants bloom and neighbors cut their lawns more frequently. Also, mold growth occurs indoors and outdoors, making it almost impossible to escape allergy triggers. Consider these strategies t o alleviate your spring allergy symptoms, such as sneezing, stuffy or runny nose, and watery eyes:

• Keep track of local allergen (e.g., pollen and mold) counts to help you know when to avoid spending excessive time outside.

• Take a shower after spending time outdoors, as pollen can stick to your hair, skin and clothing.

• Wash your bedding weekly in hot water to help keep pollen under control.

• Clean your floors often with a vacuum that has a HEPA filter.

• Change your air conditioner and heating HEPA filters often. For many people, avoiding allergens and using over-the-counter medications are enough to ease their allergy symptoms. Talk to your doctor if your symptoms remain bothersome.

Understanding Pollen Seasons in the United States

Pollen is one of the most common seasonal allergy triggers. According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America, these are plants’ pollen seasons:

2024’s Best Diet: The Mediterranean

2024’s Best Diet: The Mediterranean

U.S. News & World Report named the Mediterranean diet the world’s best overall diet for the seventh consecutive year , ranking first in 7 of the 11 diet categories. The winning meal plan emulates how people in the Mediterranean region have traditionally eaten, focusing on consuming whole grains and heart -healthy fats. This diet may help support brain function, promote heart health and regulate blood sugar levels. Research also suggests that this well-balanced eating pattern can help prevent some chronic diseases and increase longevity.

A nonrestrictive, healthy meal plan such as the Mediterranean diet may be easier to follow and stay committed to. If you have any questions about your diet, talk to your doctor.
