4 Ways to Lower the Risk of Coronary Heart Disease, Essential Secrets to Managing Stress! Heart Illustration

Kapanlagi.com - Coronary heart disease remains one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Its prevalence is increasing, driven by various risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, smoking habits, and unhealthy lifestyles.

This disease occurs when the coronary blood vessels, which are responsible for supplying oxygen-rich blood to the heart, narrow due to plaque buildup known as atherosclerotic plaque.

This narrowing results in reduced blood supply to the heart muscle, which can lead to symptoms such as chest pain (angina pectoris) and shortness of breath. In more severe cases, patients may experience a heart attack or even sudden death.

However, there is good news! The risk of developing coronary heart disease can be minimized by maintaining heart health. Heart specialist from Siloam Kebon Jeruk Hospital, Tito Phurbojoyo, shares four effective tips for maintaining our heart health, reported by Kapanlagi.com from various sources, Wednesday (22/1/2025).

1. Regular Physical Activity

To maintain heart health, one important step is to regularly engage in light exercise that not only strengthens the heart but also helps maintain an ideal weight.

Tito reminds, "Before starting an exercise program, always consult with a doctor."

2. Healthy Diet for the Heart

3. Reduce Salty Foods

4. Managing Stress

Consume foods low in saturated fat and increase fiber intake from fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Choose healthy fats like olive oil and avocados.
