April is National Stress Awareness Month
In recognition of National Stress Awareness Month, let’s explore the critical link between stress and heart health:
- Blood Pressure Surge: Chronic stress raises blood pressure, increasing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
- Inflammation and Atherosclerosis: Stress triggers inflammation, narrowing arteries and leading to heart disease.
- Irregular Heart Rhythms: Stress disrupts normal heart rhythms, impacting overall cardiac function.
Managing Stress for a Healthy Heart:
- Exercise Regularly: Lower stress hormones through physical activity.
- Relaxation Techniques: Practice deep breathing and meditation.
- Prioritize Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours each night.
- Healthy Diet: Nutrient-rich foods benefit both body and mind.
- Seek Professional Help: Consider counseling if stress becomes overwhelming.
Remember, managing stress isn’t just good for your heart—it enhances your overall quality of life.
