Three lifestyle changes can be made to protect heart health. They are diet, exercise, and stress reduction.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Heart Healthy Food Choices<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>When eaten regularly, specific foods are important for heart health and can help with blood pressure and cholesterol.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Coldwater fish<\/strong>: Salmon, mackerel, and tuna<\/li>\n<li><strong>Eat nuts<\/strong>: Almonds, macadamia, and walnuts<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flavonoids<\/strong>: Red grapes, dark chocolate, green or black tea<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vegetables<\/strong>: Colorful veggies, like spinach, tomatoes, broccoli, peppers, and asparagus<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Heart Healthy Exercise Choices<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>How about exercise? 150 minutes of weekly exercise is beneficial for a healthy heart. Can you incorporate one or more of these exercises into your weekly schedule?<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>#1. Walk or Hike:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Available anytime and anywhere. Walk with friends or family members and vary where you go.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>#2. Swim:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">The buoyancy of water prevents pressure on joints, making swimming a great exercise for everyone.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>#3. Bicycle:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Whether indoors on a stationary bike or outside on a path, biking is another fun option for exercise and is easy on the joints.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>#4. Practice Yoga:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Yoga can include stretching, strengthening, endurance, breath work and relaxation.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>#5. Strengthen:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Building body strength also strengthens the heart muscles. Use hand weights or weightlifting machines to prevent the natural loss of muscle tissue.<\/p>\n<p>Help your heart with stress reduction techniques that lower blood pressure and reduce the likelihood of chronic illness or disease. Be sure to set priorities so your most important items have been accomplished by the end of each week, and then don\u2019t forget to schedule fun and relaxation time, too.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t deny yourself the things you love. <\/strong>What do you like to do? Work on a puzzle, read a book, walk your dog, call the grandkids, do some art, a craft, or a project. Be happier by enjoying activities that make you smile!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Remain social. <\/strong>Hang out with a friend, go to the library, or join a bridge group. Do something that gets you out of the house so you\u2019re not sitting home alone.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Enjoy laughter.<\/strong> A big laugh from your favourite movie or comedian can uplift you. Pursue new ways to laugh with friends for a big stress reduction!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Try meditation.<\/strong> There are so many varieties of meditation available that you can try, as well as deep breathing techniques that help relax the body and diminish anxious feelings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><strong>Comfort Keepers\u00ae Edmonton is Proud to Offer a Wide Range of Home Senior Care Services<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our trained caregivers will ensure your loved one is comfortable, independent and safe in their home.
