It is commonly believed in society that the main enemy of a healthy heart is smoking. In real life, it has many more enemies, they are just all hiding.
Cardiologists know what not to do if you want to visit the clinic less often.
Foreign doctors advise paying attention to the following five habits that have a detrimental effect on the cardiovascular system.
First place: smoking
Of course, this is the worst enemy of the heart. Nicotine, chemicals and other low-quality raw materials hit the heart and blood vessels.
As a result, cholesterol levels increase, the risk of blood clots, and with it the development of atherosclerosis, heart attacks and other cardiovascular diseases.
Second place: chest pain
If it appears, you can't ignore it. It could be a sign of angina or myocardial infarction.
Don't be lazy to undergo a medical examination that can save your life.
Third place: unhealthy foods
Deeply processed meat products (sausages, smoked meats, bacon) contain a lot of salt, saturated fats and preservatives.
Again, cholesterol levels rise, blood pressure increases, and the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases increases.
Fourth place: genetics
If there were cases of cardiovascular diseases in the family, then they also cannot be ignored.
You can avoid trouble if you undergo regular medical examinations in a timely manner.
Fifth place: unhealthy sleep
Lack of sleep increases the risk of problems with blood pressure, obesity and diabetes, which, in turn, are the basis for cardiovascular diseases.
Therefore, you need to sleep at least 7-9 hours.
