Heart health coach Cathy thinks that loving your heart begins with little, daily decisions taken over time that compound. She has worked with several customers who have improved their health with only a few basic behaviours.
Cathy replies warmly, sipping her green tea, “The best thing you can do for your heart is to take it one step at a time.” It does not have to be difficult. The basis of a heart-healthy way of life is simple, balanced decisions.
Cathy’s initial advise is all about including more whole foods into your diet. “I always exhort them to consume more healthy grains, veggies, and fresh fruit. These meals are high in antioxidants and fibre, which help to maintain your heart in perfect shape, she says.
She also advises cutting processed meals, which are usually heavy in salt and bad fats. Cathy advises, “You’re already greatly improving your heart if you can replace processed snacks with nuts, seeds, and fruits.”
Still another essential element of Cathy’s heart-healthy way of life is exercise. “You really must have regular physical activity. It doesn’t have to be vigourous; yoga, swimming, and walking all assist increase circulation and lower stress.
But Cathy’s most valuable advice is “Love yourself. Your heart may suffer under stress and bad emotions. Spend time unwinding, breathing, and appreciating the small events in life. She thinks that developing awareness and thankfulness is equally as vital as your diet.
“You make decisions honouring your well-being when you love your heart.” Start with little steps then expand from there. Cathy says, “Your heart will thank you in the long run,” gently reminding us to give both emotional and physical health top priority.
