Winter habits to keep the heart healthy include eating healthy and exercising regularly...

Eat healthy

Prioritize healthy fats that help protect your heart and support overall health. Oils such as peanut oil and sunflower oil provide monounsaturated fats, which help reduce LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol). The omega 3 fatty acids from salmon and sardines provide anti-inflammatory benefits and support a stable heart rate.

Prioritize replacing refined grains such as white rice with more nutritious options such as brown rice, barley, whole wheat, oats or quinoa. These whole grains provide extra fiber and many essential nutrients, help reduce cholesterol, stabilize blood sugar levels and support long-term health.

Almonds, walnuts and peanuts provide healthy fats, protein and vitamin E. The arginine content in these nuts helps increase nitric oxide and improve blood circulation.

Tomatoes, berries, radishes, grapes and bell peppers are rich in antioxidants and minerals that help improve blood vessel health and reduce inflammation.

Exercise

Exercise helps increase blood circulation, stabilize blood pressure and support a healthy weight. When the weather is warm, a 30-minute walk in the sun is an ideal choice. On colder days, you can switch to indoor exercises.

Combining aerobic exercises with gentle strengthening movements helps the body use oxygen more effectively and reduces the burden on the heart.

Good night

Cold weather often disrupts living habits, leading to irregular sleeping and eating habits. Maintaining a regular sleep schedule is essential for metabolic balance, immunity and overall cardiovascular health.
