Khaberni - Medical recommendations indicate that three daily practices could support heart health and help reduce its disease risks.
Cardiovascular diseases represent one of the most significant health challenges in the United Kingdom, with data from the National Health Service indicating that more than seven million people suffer from these diseases at various levels.
The Mirror newspaper quoted Dr. Francesco Lo Monaco saying that three daily practices can contribute to supporting heart health and improving the efficiency of the cardiovascular system.
The doctor explained that oral health care is one of the factors linked to heart health, as gum inflammation may lead to the release of chemical compounds that travel through the bloodstream, which can accelerate the deterioration of arteries over time.
Therefore, it is advised to brush your teeth twice daily for at least two minutes, along with regular use of dental floss.
He also mentioned the importance of regular sleep, noting that insufficient or disturbed sleep puts the body under continuous stress and increases inflammation levels in the body, which negatively affects the heart.
He added that adhering to fixed sleep and wake times helps the body maintain its vital balance.
The doctor touched on another aspect linked to mental health, explaining that laughter contributes to the secretion of natural compounds within the body that help blood vessels relax, improve blood flow, and reduce stress hormone levels over a brief period.
Francesco Lo Monaco concluded his talk by noting that sticking to simple daily habits could help reduce inflammation in the body and alleviate the pressure on the heart over time, which supports the efficiency of the cardiovascular system.
