Warning! avoid These risks
Misuse can damage your heart and lead to costly repairs, and there’s no manufacturer’s warranty. Protect your heart from these hazards: ◗◗ Smoking. More than 200,000 heart attacks could be prevented each year in the U.S. if everyone stopped smoking, says Nieca Goldberg, MD, an American Heart Association spokeswoman. ◗◗ High-calorie liquids. Sports drinks and soda are loaded with sugar, so avoiding them is an easy way to cut calories. Alcohol has a lot of calories, too, and can increase blood pressure if you drink too much. Women should limit themselves to one drink per day, and men two per day. ◗◗ Stress. Too much stress can lead to increased rates of high blood pressure and heart problems, Goldberg says. To reduce your stress level, set aside time for rejuvenating pursuits such as meditation, which has been shown to lower blood pressure.
