Simple lifestyle changes like choosing grilled over fried foods and staying active can significantly improve heart health.
Heart health is a critical aspect of overall well-being. Maintaining a healthy heart is essential to enjoying a vibrant and active lifestyle. Cardiovascular diseases are a leading cause of mortality worldwide, and understanding how to protect your heart can make a significant difference.
Heart Health Made Simple: Tips for a Longer, Happier Life
To begin with, our Lebanese cuisine, rich in vegetables, olive oil, and lean proteins, is inherently healthy. However, traditional dishes can sometimes include high amounts of salt, saturated fats, and fried ingredients. You can opt for grilled or baked options instead of fried foods. Use olive oil sparingly and avoid trans fats. Reduce your intake of salty foods like pickles and processed meats. Incorporate more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts into your meals.
We tend to underestimate the power of staying active. Regular physical activity is vital for a healthy heart. You should engage in exercises that suit your lifestyle – easy, simple activities that don’t consume a lot of time, such as walking or jogging, or playing sports like padel, football, or basketball. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise weekly.

Managing Stress and Monitoring Your Heart
Whenever we lack a root cause for a health issue, we tend to blame stress, but it really can take a toll on your heart, especially with the challenges we face in our daily life as Lebanese. Find healthy outlets for stress, practice mindfulness or meditation, try to allocate more time to spend with your loved ones, and most importantly, take breaks from social media or stressful news.
Regular check-ups are essential for early detection of heart issues. Check blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels, and consult a physician about any family history of heart disease.
Breaking Bad Habits and Prioritizing Rest
There is no easy or diplomatic way to say this: to maintain good heart health, you should quit smoking and limit your alcohol consumption. Enjoy alcohol, such as arak or wine, in moderation, as excessive drinking can harm your heart.
There is a lot going on in the world currently that we need to catch up on, but adequate sleep is essential for heart health. Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night. Poor sleep can lead to high blood pressure and other cardiovascular problems.

Everyone realizes why a new common language would be desirable: one could refuse to pay expensive translators. To achieve this, it would be necessary to have uniform grammar, pronunciation and more common words. Their separate existence is a myth.
A healthy heart is the foundation of a fulfilling life!
