Did you know that the heart is one of the most important organs in our body?
It beats tirelessly, pumping blood to every corner, keeping every cell alive.
However, we often take it for granted until we face a problem.
World Heart Day, celebrated every September 29, is a perfect opportunity to reflect on the importance of taking care of our hearts and taking control of our cardiovascular health.
The Importance of a Healthy Heart
Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in the world . In Costa Rica, this reality is not foreign. Fortunately, most of these events can be prevented with simple changes in our lifestyle. As experts say, "the social, monetary and family cost is high and 80% of these events can be prevented with changes in habits 10 years before."
What can we do?
Healthy eating: A balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and low in saturated fats and sugars is essential for a healthy heart.
Regular exercise: Regular physical activity helps control blood pressure, lowers cholesterol and strengthens the heart.
Weight control: Overweight and obesity increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.
