Eat, drink, move, don’t be nervous
And some recommendations on how you can support your cardiovascular system during this period from a lifestyle perspective:
Proper nutrition
- Increase your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables: they are rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals that support heart health. Berries, citrus fruits, spinach and broccoli are especially useful.
- Reduce your salt intake: Excessive salt consumption can lead to high blood pressure. Replace salt with spices and herbs.
- Avoid fatty and fried foods: choose healthy fats such as omega-3, found in fish (salmon, mackerel) and nuts.
- Hydration: Drink enough water to avoid dehydration, which can negatively affect circulation and increase the workload on your heart.
Physical activity
- Moderate exercise: Regular exercise such as walking, swimming or cycling helps strengthen the heart and improve blood circulation. It is important to avoid excessive exercise, especially in hot weather.
- load distribution: pay attention to morning or evening hours for training, when the air temperature is lower. Do not exercise outdoors at midday, when the sun is most active.
- Stretching and breathing exercises: Yoga, Pilates, and other types of exercise that combine movement and breathing help improve circulation and support cardiovascular health.
Weight control
- Maintaining a healthy weight: Being overweight puts more strain on your heart. Monitor your calorie intake and exercise to maintain a healthy weight.
Stress reduction
- Relaxation techniques: meditation, deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation help reduce stress levels, which can negatively affect heart health.
- Get enough sleep: Not getting enough sleep can lead to high blood pressure and an increased risk of heart disease. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep each night.
Eliminating bad habits
- Limit alcohol consumption: Alcohol in large quantities can increase blood pressure and negatively affect the functioning of the heart.
- Quitting smoking: Smoking is one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Quitting smoking significantly reduces this risk.
Controlling blood pressure and cholesterol levels
- Regular check-ups: Monitor your blood pressure and cholesterol levels, especially if you have a predisposition to cardiovascular disease. Consult your doctor to adjust your treatment if necessary.
Adequate cooling
- Avoid overheating: dress for the weather, avoid prolonged exposure to the sun, use air conditioners or fans to prevent overheating and excessive sweating.
- Cool drinks: Drink cool, but not icy, drinks. Avoid coffee and energy drinks, which can increase blood pressure and heart rate.
These measures will help reduce the load on the cardiovascular system during the summer and maintain the health of your heart.
