Some everyday habits, such as poor sleep habits and physical inactivity, can have an extremely negative impact on the cardiovascular system.
Russian toxicologist Mikhail Kutyshov warned about this.
He also called for more careful attention to nutrition and hygiene.
The doctor’s statement is cited by the publication “Lenta.ru” .
What Habits Cause Cardiovascular Disease
Firstly, getting up early and going to bed late have an extremely detrimental effect on the cardiovascular system.
Also, failure to adhere to a sleep regimen leads to impaired cognitive functions and increases the risk of developing depression and other mental disorders.
Secondly, physical inactivity, that is, a sedentary lifestyle, is harmful to the cardiovascular system.
Also, physical inactivity is fraught with a decrease in muscle mass, metabolic disorders and obesity.
Thirdly, poor nutrition. Regular consumption of foods high in salt, sugar and saturated fats leads not only to cardiovascular diseases, but also to type 2 diabetes.
Closely related to this is the habit of skipping meals, which leads to disruption of metabolic processes, noted Kutyshov.
The doctor also listed irregular hand washing as a dangerous habit.
Failure to observe personal hygiene rules, the toxicologist reminded, contributes to the spread of infectious diseases.
