Some habits to do after 5 pm to help protect cardiovascular health such as light walking after dinner, spending time relaxing and deep breathing...

Eat dinner earlier

Eating times, especially dinner, play an important role in overall health. Eating late at night or eating too much in the evening can increase the risk of acid reflux, affect sleep quality, and in the long run can be associated with weight gain, high blood pressure, and poor blood sugar control.

You should eat the last meal of the day at least 3 hours before going to bed. If you need a light snack in the evening, you can choose simple, heart-healthy foods such as a little fruit or nuts.

Easy walk after dinner

Walking after dinner is considered a good habit for cardiovascular health. Light exercise helps support blood sugar regulation and improve circulation, and also helps the body gradually move to a relaxed state before resting.

Just 10 minutes of walking after dinner can also bring significant benefits, helping to reduce the impact of high blood sugar on blood vessels over time.

Spend time relaxing and deep breathing

Relaxation in the evening is an important factor in helping the body recover. Deep breathing exercises can help reduce cortisol, slow down heart rate and bring the body back to a natural relaxed state. This activates the parasympathetic nervous system, helping to improve sleep quality, support stable blood pressure and the body's recovery process at night.

Maintain a fixed bedtime

Going to bed on time every day can play an important role in protecting cardiovascular health. Maintaining a stable sleep time helps reduce the risk of sleep disorders and supports the body's natural recovery process.

Some pre-sleep habits such as reducing light, limiting electronic devices, and performing relaxing activities such as reading or deep breathing can help the body fall asleep more easily.
