Happiness is ... Spring in the heart!
In our life, it is impossible to do without caring for our heart. One of the most important human organs – the heart, which 24 hours a day, without freezing for a second, pumps blood through our body and supports life in the human body is devoted to an international holiday – World Heart Day, which is celebrated annually on September 29. It was first organized in 1999 on the initiative of the World Heart Federation. This action was supported by the World Health Organization (WHO), UNESCO and other significant organizations.
Diseases of the circulatory system account for more than half of all deaths from non -infectious diseases, which means that heart attack and stroke can confidently assign the status of “number one killers” among diseases on the planet.
To appreciate his heart, take care of him, not to undermine his work with bad habits is called on cardiologists of the whole world. World Heart Day is designed to recall that the prevention of heart and blood disease is possible and necessary both at the population and at a personal level.
How can each of us help ourselves today? Thanks to simple preventive measures, each person can significantly reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases (SSZ) in his own and their loved ones. This is necessary:
1. At least 30 minutes of physical activity four to five times a week. It is important to remember that each person’s activity can be different.
2. Proper nutrition: in the diet it is necessary to include 5-6 servings of vegetables and fruits per day (1 portion of approximately one apple or one orange, etc.).
Limit salt consumption per day to five grams (one teaspoon). To take into account the fact that in almost all of the food we consume, sodium chloride is contained.
It is necessary to control the size of portions. Even children should eat right. Excessive nutrition is a risk of the development of heart disease.
