How to Protect the Heart from Inactivity

Khaberni - Cardiovascular diseases are still the main cause of death globally, causing nearly one-third of all deaths.

Heart health is influenced by factors such as: inactivity, unhealthy diets, and chronic stress.

According to the "Independent" newspaper, studies indicate that regular physical exercises lower blood pressure, improve cholesterol levels, regulate blood sugar, and help the heart function more efficiently.

Modern life encourages sitting for long hours at desks, in cars, and in front of screens.

Prolonged sedentary behavior is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and mortality from all causes.
Standing desks

Desks that require standing and movement rest periods are beneficial.

However, priority should also be given to body posture, joint movement, and muscle functions.

Regular stretching exercises, resistance exercises, and balance exercises support musculoskeletal health and reduce the risk of injury or complications associated with inactivity.
Overcome stress with every step

Chronic stress contributes to inflammation, high blood pressure, and unhealthy behaviors. All these factors increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases.

While meditation and psychological counseling are essential tools, physical exercise is an effective stress regulator, enhancing the release of endorphins and improving mood, sleep, and emotional resilience.

Endorphins are natural chemicals produced by the body that alleviate pain and enhance feelings of happiness, pleasure, and satisfaction, thus promoting a sense of well-being.

Research supports the use of aerobic and resistance exercises to reduce symptoms of depression, lessen anxiety, and enhance mental health
