Take Care of Your Heart

We all know that one of the most important organs in the body is the heart, but not everyone does what is necessary to take care of it and keep it healthy. Here are some tips to keep your heart healthy. Caring for the heart from an early age is a very wise idea. It has been proven that those who start eating according to the care of their cardiovascular system have a better medical evolution during middle age and old age. Of course, we recommend doing aerobic exercises at least three times a week as this stimulates blood pumping and strengthens the heart muscles. In addition, you should also be careful with what you consume if you want to benefit your health and well-being. Your heart will thank you; here are our tips.   Stay away from red meat This does not mean that you should stop eating it completely, as it is healthy and its protein contribution is very valuable. But if you have high blood pressure, a history of heart attacks in your family, or simply want to take care of your heart, then we recommend that you primarily consume white meats and fish.   Go for dark-colored fruits and vegetables When it comes to beets, cherries, prunes, and any other deep-toned vegetable or fruit, it is never enough. These ingredients are full of antioxidants that greatly help in the battle against chronic diseases.   Prepare your meals If the rate of heart failures has increased in recent decades, it is due to the convenience of eating frozen foods or going to fast food places. All these products contain chemicals or fats that directly affect the heart, so it is better to consume healthy ingredients at home that you can control. Now, if you go out to eat, there is no problem; just make sure they are trusted places that cook without too many saturated fats.   Less cheese Although it is a good source of calcium and protein, cheese is also rich in fats and, consequently, can be harmful to the arteries and heart if consumed in large quantities. Low-calorie cheeses are a better alternative if you want the flavor but want to avoid harmful fats.   Drink in moderation It is said that it is recommended to drink a glass of red wine a day to help the heart, and it is true; those who drink alcohol in moderation occasionally support their cardiovascular system, whereas those who drink excessively can harm the outer tissue of organs such as the heart and kidneys.   Recipes to Care for the Heart Potato Soup Recipe Ingredients: - 3 potatoes - 1 red bell pepper - 1/2 leek - 1 tablespoon of butter - 1 liter of chicken broth - 1 sprig of thyme - salt and pepper to taste Click here to see the procedure to prepare this recipe.   Mahi-Mahi with Mango Sauce Recipe Ingredients: - 1/4 cup of light coconut milk - 6 tablespoons of lime juice - 4 Mahi-Mahi fish or another white fish - 1 1/2 cups of diced mango - 3/4 cup of diced cucumber - 2 tablespoons of finely chopped red onion - 1 tablespoon of finely chopped cilantro - 1 teaspoon of grated ginger - 1 finely chopped serrano chili - 3/4 teaspoon of salt - 1/4 teaspoon of pepper Find the steps to prepare this recipe by clicking here.   “Have you tried these tips to care for your heart?”
