Power of sleep: We’ve all done it – skipped sleep for late-night parties, work, etc. However, before you make this a regular habit, consider this: research has indicated that people who slept less than six hours a day, had a 48 percent increased risk of developing heart disease.

Central Obesity or Excess belly fat: Excess belly or stomach fat is extremely unhealthy & increases the risk of diabetes & heart problems. Even if you are normal-weight people but have excess belly fat, it can increase the risk of health problems. To know if you fall under this category measure your waist to hip ratio. If it is greater than 0.9, then you should make lifestyle changes to lose fat.

Achieve and maintain a healthy Body Mass Index (BMI): BMI or Body Mass Index is based on your height and weight. If your BMI is in the range of 25 to 30, then you are overweight. If the BMI is greater than 30, then you are considered obese.

Be physically active: A healthy heart needs physical activity. Engage in at least 30 minutes of physical activity – 5 times a week. Walk, jog, do yoga, join a gym, play your favorite sport but do something!

Manage Diabetes: Did you know that people with type 2 diabetes are two to four times more likely to develop heart disease or have a brain stroke compared with those who don’t have diabetes. So make positive lifestyle changes and keep your diabetes under control. One of the most important things you can do if you have diabetes is to maintain a healthy weight.

Cut down on salt intake: Eating a lot of salt can contribute to high blood pressure, a major risk factor for heart problems. Reducing salt intake is an important part of a heart-healthy diet. Also, keep a watch on ready to eat foods as they generally have high sodium content.

Control your portion sizes: How much you eat is just as important as what you eat. Overloading your plate, eating too fast, and eating until you feel stuffed can lead to eating more calories than you need will not only impact your waistline but also your heart. So control your portions & eat mindfully without distractions – TV, newspaper, mobile.
