Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States today. More than 800,000 people will die from heart disease this year. With these numbers in mind, it behooves us to consider things we can do to lessen the odds of becoming a statistic. Disclaimer – before simply taking my advice, it would be wise to do your own research and consult your doctor, especially if you have heart issues.
First, we need to remember that good nutrition, regular exercise, and deep sleep provide the foundation for good health. Also, it is best to avoid smoking and excessive drinking. Cannabis use (smoking, eating, or vaping) is another factor that has been linked to cardiovascular problems. In 2022, Danish researchers found that even the use of medical marijuana was associated with a 64 percent higher risk of arrhythmia (irregular heartbeat).
Besides avoiding the bad stuff and eating well, what can we do to foster good heart health and ward off disease? Consider adding the following to your regular routine. Your heart will thank you.
