It is up to us to ensure that we keep our heart as healthy as possible to live a longer and more fulfilling life. Luckily, taking care of your heart does not have to be hard. Dr. Varuna Rao is a wellness coach with a Ph.D. in Food Science and Nutrition. Here, she has provided a heart-healthy diet plan with important nutrition tips, that you can download and follow daily.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from this wholesome diet plan, a few simple <strong>lifestyle modifications<\/strong> will ensure that your heart is safe from disease and functioning well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What You Should Know:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"#The-Importance-of-Heart-Fitness\">The Importance of Heart Fitness<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#Foods-for-the-Heart\">Foods for the Heart<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#Heart-Disease-Signs-You-Mustnt-Ignore\">Heart Disease Signs You Mustn\u2019t Ignore<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong id=\"The-Importance-of-Heart-Fitness\">The Importance of Heart Fitness<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-60227 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Exercising-for-heart-health.jpg\" alt=\"Exercising for heart health_activ living\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The heart is a muscle and as you know, muscles need exercise. The heart\u2019s main function is pumping oxygenated blood throughout the body and pumping deoxygenated blood into the lungs. The stronger the heart the more effectively it pumps blood for better circulation. Any form of physical exercise whether cardio or weight training also helps to exercise the heart. As the muscles are worked out, they demand greater oxygen and nutrition supply, the heart has to pump harder to meet this demand. <strong>Regular exercise<\/strong> is a must for a healthy heart as it helps to strengthen the heart muscles.<\/p>\n<p><strong id=\"Foods-for-the-Heart\">Foods for the Heart<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-60231 aligncenter lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Unhealthy-foods-for-heart-health.jpg\" alt=\"Unhealthy foods for heart health_activ living\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The connection between food and heart health has been known for a long time. Certain foods have been termed junk food because of the negative effect they have on the heart. Foods that are high in trans fats, sodium, and sugar are all bad for the heart. Fast foods and processed foods when consumed in large quantities can cause cholesterol plaques in the arteries. This leads to thickening of the walls of blood vessels, <strong>high blood pressure<\/strong>, obesity, and pre-diabetes. All these conditions weaken the heart muscles and increase the risk of heart attacks.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-63393 size-full lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.adityabirlacapital.com\/healthinsurance\/active-together\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Healthy-foods-for-the-heart.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 800px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 800\/533;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For a healthy heart, it is important to eat the right food at regular timings. Maintaining a routine for your meals goes a long way in helping to keep your heart in good condition. The downloadable file above has some great meal ideas for you and can be used as a guide on what to eat on a daily basis.<\/p>\n<p>While planning your daily, don&#8217;t forget to include all the ingredients you will need in your weekly shopping list. At the start of the week, make a plan about which fruits and vegetables you would buy for each day to include in your meals. Make sure that you include sources of <strong>protein<\/strong>, complex carbohydrates (fibre), and good fats in your shopping list as well. You can shop for your ingredients daily or stock up once a week and keep them in the fridge or freezer. Planning your meals in advance is one of the best ways to ensure that you stick to <strong>eating healthy<\/strong> every day.<\/p>\n<p><strong id=\"Heart-Disease-Signs-You-Mustnt-Ignore\">Heart Disease Signs You Mustn\u2019t Ignore<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While you do everything right to keep your heart healthy, there could be some underlying conditions that could still put you at risk of <strong>heart disease<\/strong>.
