What lifestyle to lead to support your heart in old age
Heart disease, according to doctors, is increasingly being diagnosed among young people today. Is it worth talking about how often they are detected among older people? Almost 90% of elderly patients suffer from diseases of the cardiovascular system. What needs to be done to prevent heart pain? Read about it further.
How the heart changes in old age
The heart is often called the “engine” of the body. This organ, which is no larger than a human fist, is believed to support the functioning of the entire body. The heart supplies blood to every cell of the body, supplying substances and elements necessary for life.
How does the heart change in old age? What's happening to him?
Increased heart size
A common occurrence for an elderly body is an increase in the size of the heart. The volume of the left ventricle usually changes. The fact is that by this age the wall of the heart thickens, and this leads to a decrease in blood flow in its cavities. The heart chamber fills extremely slowly, not as it was before. Accordingly, with a comparative increase in the heart, its efficiency in older people is much lower than in young people.
Decreased contractility of the heart muscle
Almost 165 million liters of blood - this is exactly how much our “engine” pumps by the age of 70. The performance of the organ directly depends on the state of the myocardial cells. It is known that with age there are fewer of them, because cardiomycytes cannot self-renew.
In this case, connective tissue appears in their place. That is, the body tries to replace dying cardiomycytes by strengthening the remaining ones. But it is impossible to fully compensate for the work of the heart in this way.
Disturbance of the heart valve apparatus
Most susceptible to change mitral valve and the aortic valve, the valves of which in older people no longer have the same flexibility. Moreover, they may lose elasticity due to calcium deposits in the heart. The result of this process is heart failure in terms of valve functionality, which is reflected in the uniform distribution of blood throughout the cavities of the organ.
Changes in heart rate
The impulses that the heart creates to transfuse blood are generated by cells. IN at a young age efficient cells begin to gradually die, and in the elderly their number barely exceeds 10% of the original number. All this affects the heart rhythm disturbance.
What are the most common heart diseases in old age?
Heart diseases are a huge group of ailments that are associated with disruption of the proper functioning of the heart. It happens that they do not make themselves known for a long time. But often they appear suddenly, which causes the elderly person a lot of pain and suffering.
Heart disease often leads to patient disability. Especially when it comes to suffering from an illness in old age. Elderly people suffer more often than others. In many industrialized countries, about 70% of deaths among older people are related to heart disease.
Doctors note that Heart diseases can be divided into three groups:
Pathology of the valve (defect).
Vascular diseases and their consequences (coronary heart disease, heart attack, etc.).
Disorders associated with the functioning of the heart muscle (endocarditis, etc.).
The list of heart diseases in older people is quite wide. Among them are the most common:
Coronary heart disease (CHD) in old age
IHD occurs primarily due to vasoconstriction and leads to disruption or damage to the heart. The blow falls on the heart muscle (myocardium), which is the most important element of this body.
If the work of the myocardium is temporarily hampered, there is a lack of oxygen and blood supply to the body as a whole. This often happens due to vascular atherosclerosis ( coronary arteries and others).
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), doctors record in practice six forms of clinical manifestations coronary disease hearts:
Heart failure.
Myocardial infarction.
Angina pectoris.
Sudden coronary death.
Cardiosclerosis.
Heart arythmy
Heart rhythm disturbance is a condition in which the traditional, correct contraction of the muscles of the organ and its frequency change. In older people, this disease is extremely common.
Arrhythmia is divided into several types:
Ciliated;
Sinus;
Monotopic;
Polytopic;
Atrial;
Extrasystolic;
Paroxysmal;
Ventricular.
Based on the nature of the manifestations of arrhythmia, they are diagnosed as:
Slowing of the rhythm (bradycardia);
Increased frequency (tachycardia);
Problems electrical impulse(extrasystoles);
Problems of the conduction system;
Decreased cardiac conductivity;
Increased cardiac conductivity.
An abnormal heart rhythm may indicate the presence of a disease as such, or be a symptom of other problems in the body. To determine the cause of the disease, older people are prescribed detailed diagnostics.
Is it possible to cure arrhythmia in an elderly person? Doctors say that in some cases this is possible. In particular, older patients with cardiac arrhythmias may benefit from treatment with medicines or surgery.
Heart defects
Heart disease is a malfunction of the heart or the blood vessels that extend from it, resulting in a disruption in the blood supply.
There are both congenital and acquired types of heart defects:
A doctor can determine congenital diseases already at the stage of fetal development using ultrasound. The most common form of congenital heart disease is a disorder that appears in the first two trimesters of pregnancy. They are usually associated with abnormal development of the septa of the heart and/or the vessels adjacent to it.
Acquired types of heart disease are the result of previous diseases, including rheumatism, hypertension, atherosclerosis, syphilis and others.
Most often, heart disease manifests itself in the form of pain in the back (behind the breastbone), high heart rate in the temples, headache, difficulty breathing, low or high pressure. Elderly people suffering from heart disease may experience several symptoms at once. Treatment of such patients is carried out exclusively in a hospital under the supervision of a cardiologist.
What vitamins are especially important for the heart in old age?
Older people begin to get sick more often due to the fact that their body undergoes a number of changes. Useful material, vitamins and minerals are no longer absorbed so well. In addition, you have to consume more medical supplies, which affects the patient’s appetite. Immunity also decreases, mainly due to the many chronic diseases of the elderly.
Judging by statistics from the Institute of Nutrition of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences, only 3-5% of the Russian population systematically take vitamins. However, they are extremely necessary for older people suffering from heart disease.
Vitamins make it possible, even in old age, to slow down the aging process of the body, increase efficiency and improve the patient’s well-being.
What vitamins are necessary for good heart function in an elderly person?
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) gives speed to metabolic processes, makes vascular walls and myocardium stronger, more resilient, accelerates all metabolic processes, and prevents atherosclerosis.
Vitamin A(retinol) reduces the formation of plaques in blood vessels.
Vitamin E(tocopherol) has an antioxidant effect, strengthens blood vessels and the heart, protecting against damage.
Vitamin P(rutin) in addition to strengthening blood vessels, it also reduces their permeability and bleeding.
Vitamin F(linoleic and linolenic acids).Helps strengthen heart tissue, prevents the formation cholesterol plaques on the walls of blood vessels.
Coenzyme Q10 - Chemical substance, which is formed in the human liver. It can give an elderly person energy, reduce the risk of a heart attack and/or heart rhythm disturbances.
Vitamin B1(thiamine) required to maintain normal rhythm hearts.
Vitamin B6(pyridoxine) - reduces the volume of lipids and cholesterol levels in the blood.
The question of whether the human body can store vitamins for later use is still open. He cannot “store” them, which is why he needs to take care of good diet with the constant presence of vitamins in food.
But even the most proper nutrition cannot give an elderly person everything that his body requires. In this case, it is much better to take multivitamins in tablets or other form.
Today in pharmacies you can see and special vitamins, which are intended specifically for older people. Regular use can not only increase weak immunity, but also prevent heart disease.
What will help improve the condition of the heart and blood vessels? First of all, this microelements:
Magnesium. It can balance sodium and potassium in the blood, improve blood pressure, improve the condition of the myocardium and reduce the number of blood clots.
Calcium. Needed for blood vessels, more precisely the walls, and the correct rhythm of the heart. Most often it is prescribed together with vitamin D, because this is how it is better absorbed by the elderly body.
Potassium. Necessary for contraction of the heart muscle.
Phosphorus. Participates in the construction of cells, is part of the membrane and transmits nerve impulses throughout the myocardium, which affects the heart rhythm.
Selenium. Able to fight free radicals that destroy blood vessels and heart tissue. Promotes the absorption of other substances and vitamins.
Chromium. The important thing is prophylactic from high blood pressure and heart diseases.
Chemicals are necessary for the elderly body and the heart in particular. But do not forget that the need for them becomes less and less significant with age. And that’s not all: there are studies that prove the accumulation of minerals in the body of older people. Most often we are talking about calcium.
Salt can settle on the walls of blood vessels, cartilage and joints.
What heart medications are most often prescribed by doctors in old age?
There are many medications on the shelves today that can help relieve an elderly person from heart disease. But do not forget that only a qualified doctor can make the correct choice of the necessary medicine.
Which drugs to strengthen the heart and blood vessels We most often see in pharmacies:
"Venoton". The drug is made from vitamin C, lactose, buckwheat extract and garlic juice.
"Ascorutin". Essentially, we are talking about vitamins P and C, which take care of the strength of the blood vessels of an elderly person.
"Piracetam." It is also prescribed for disorders of the brain. May increase blood circulation rate.
"Riboxin" Used for cardiac hypoxia and can deliver oxygen to the heart muscle, helps in the treatment of arrhythmia. Sources also claim that the medicine stimulates protein synthesis in muscles. Riboxin is often prescribed for ischemia, hepatitis and other diseases of the heart and liver.
"Cavinton". T It is also able to solve the problem of hypoxia and saturate and strengthen the blood vessels of both the heart and head.
"Asparkam." The basis is the synthesis of potassium and magnesium. Necessary for normalizing the electrolytic balance of the myocardium, which has a positive effect on the heart rate of an elderly person.
"Hawthorn forte." The drug is made from the shoots and inflorescences of hawthorn. Action - helps strengthen blood vessels and solve problems with heart rhythm.
"Rhodiola rosea." Another medicine plant origin, which can have a quite noticeable effect on the myocardium. An elderly patient feels better, as a rule, immediately after the first dose of the tincture. Take it after sleep, every day in the morning. Doctors can tell you exactly how to dilute the drug in water. At different degrees development of heart disease and other conditions, the dose is selected individually.
What lifestyle to lead to support your heart in old age
Pay attention to people who care about their health even in old age. Each of them knows that a healthy lifestyle helps to cope with any disease; in any case, it can reduce the risk of developing the disease or ease its course.
American scientists have found that if followed healthy image a person can live 120 years. This is the potential that lies in our hearts.

Avoid visiting baths and saunas. The advice applies to older people who already suffer from any heart disease;
Quit smoking, because it negatively affects the blood circulation process;
Stop being nervous. Anxiety can ruin your health. An elderly person must remember that nerve cells do not renew, and stress can develop into a heart attack;
Visit your cardiologist more often.
Supporting your heart in old age with proper nutrition
To prevent an elderly person from suffering from heart pain, doctors recommend a special diet. Most often, recommendations are given by the attending cardiologist; it is he who determines the severity of the disease and, in accordance with this, decides what the patient can eat and what absolutely cannot be eaten.
As a rule, those suffering from heart disease are prohibited from eating foods that may contain a lot of cholesterol. The reason is clear - this substance leads to the formation of plaques in blood vessels. In addition, elderly patients should not eat sour, smoked, too salty or fatty foods.
There are a number of heart-healthy foods that older adults should eat:
Potassium-rich foods. This could be grapes, bananas, cocoa, zucchini, squash, apricots, etc. Moreover, doctors recommend taking a glass of grape juice (without sugar) before or after bedtime, which can help strengthen the walls of blood vessels.
Products containing magnesium. Eating them has a good effect on both the heart and nervous system. Doctors recommend adding seaweed, buckwheat, and watermelons to your regular diet.
Those rich in iodine, namely seafood, cottage cheese, cabbage, etc.
WITH high content vitamin C. These include peppers, raspberries, apples, lemons, oranges, tangerines and other citrus fruits.
For edema, older people are advised eat foods that help remove fluid from the body. Tomatoes and cucumbers cope well with this task.
Fruits vegetables. The more there are, the healthier body, the better the elderly patient feels.

In addition, it has been noted that eggs can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease by 3-10%, including in older people. The reason for this is the presence of antioxidants and protein, which help the body fight oxygen pressure in cells and inflammation.
According to the results of the study, eggs in the diet had a positive effect mainly in relation to men (as measured by stroke risk). Conversely, they help women in the prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease.
In folk medicine, a remedy made from eggs is used to treat weak blood vessels. Recipe: boil 5 eggs, separate the yolks, mash them with a fork and pour in 200 ml of olive oil, then put the product in the refrigerator. It is recommended to eat 1 tsp. every day for a week. Then a 6-day break and a repeat course.

A sedentary lifestyle is most often the cause of heart disease in older people. This is evidenced by research by scientists. Of course, intense training and hyperactive sports for an aging body are not right choice. Nevertheless, it is possible to avoid injury, the main thing is to approach the process thoughtfully. First, determine the optimal load on the body. Secondly, seek advice on this issue from a doctor.
What are positive points workouts that strengthen the heart and blood vessels:
Sport helps reduce the level of CRP (C-reactive protein), which is most often the cause of inflammation of various organs in an elderly person. The higher this indicator, the higher the risk of heart disease.
Blood pressure is brought into order, the level of triglycerides and blood sugar is normalized.
Strengthening the body's defenses.
Muscles and coordination become better.
The brain is saturated with blood flow, which improves memory and accelerates thought processes.
Less risk of stroke and/or heart attack.
The age to which an elderly person can live is increasing.
Training in this case should not exceed 30 minutes in case of weak blood vessels and an hour in case of minor violations health. In this case, it is better to devote 2-3 days to sports every week.
What can you do to strengthen your heart and blood vessels:
Warm-up
Do exercises in the morning. This can include swinging arms and legs, rotating joints, torso, lifting limbs, bending, walking and slow running in place. Literally five minutes is enough to tone yourself up.
Vacuum simulation
Learn to breathe correctly. Take air into your lungs, exhale deeply, then pull your stomach in and inhale sharply again. A palm on the stomach will allow you to control the process and correct movements and breathing. Spend 15-20 seconds doing this exercise once a day.
Squats at the door
When you squat, extend your arms and hold on to the doorknob. At the same time, watch your knees; they should remain level with your toes.
This exercise allows you to make your heart work as efficiently as possible in old age. In this case, you can squat shallowly, 20-30 cm is enough.

First of all, people who smoke, sedentary lifestyle life, are overweight, often experience stress and depression. Risk factors include hereditary predisposition, as well as elderly age. In addition, the deficiency of vitamins needed by the heart is of no small importance.
A healthy lifestyle should be led from a young age, but especially, of course, as you get older, you should think about it and take appropriate measures.
The women's body is designed in such a way that it protects its heart to some extent. But with the onset of menopause, women lose such natural protection. Therefore, after 50 years, and for men after 40, it is advisable to consciously strengthen the heart and blood vessels. We will now figure out how to strengthen the heart.
And above all, get rid of (I’m not talking about smoking and alcoholism, but about everyday habits that we don’t care about, I advise you to read).
Advice one- simply vital - this is the use sufficient quantity water. Water promotes better blood circulation blood vessels and prevent the formation of blood clots.
Cardiologists also prescribe medications that strengthen the heart.
Not so long ago, all people over 40 were advised to take so-called cardiac aspirin for prevention (the dose of aspirin in such tablets is several times less than in antipyretic aspirin). This drug thins the blood, prevents blood clots, heart attacks and strokes, and thereby prolongs life.
But according to recent research, excessive use of aspirin can lead to internal hemorrhages. Therefore, everyone in a row, especially if there is no great need, you don't need to take aspirin.
It can help strengthen the heart only for people at risk, for men it is better, starting from the age of 50-55 years, especially for those who smoke, and for women under 65-70 years of age, aspirin is generally not recommended, unless there is no other way out .
In general, let us take medications after 80 years. In the meantime, there are so many folk remedies that can help us perfectly!
Tip two: It is important to monitor cholesterol levels, reduce bad cholesterol, and prevent the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.
This is possible by regulating your diet.
But if necessary, you can take drugs - stanins, which reduce cholesterol and cleanse blood vessels.
Advice third: exclude salt. Excessive salt content in the body leads to increased blood pressure and atherosclerosis.
If you experience frequent swelling, pay attention to this.
There is no need to add salt to food, especially in old age; there is no need for it, since salt is already contained in all the foods we eat.
Tip four: Regular moderate physical activity. This could be walking, running at a slow pace, swimming, cycling. A very good example is set by people walking in the park with poles - those who practice Nordic walking.
There is also absolutely simple exercises, strengthening the heart, which can be performed at any time, both at home and on the street, on walks. I made my choice primarily on squats. I perform them regularly every day, gradually increasing the number, ideally I would like to reach 400 per day.
Tip five: proper nutrition and taking vitamins. Let's take a closer look at this.
Vitamins and foods that strengthen the heart
Our heart really needs the following vitamins and minerals:
You can get them with food, by correctly planning your menu.
Potassium is especially important for the heart, and while almost all vitamins exert their positive effects gradually, potassium very quickly affects the heart. I even noticed that if you eat a banana, your heart immediately becomes lighter.
Heart-healthy nutrition isn't just about eating necessary vitamins and healthy foods, but also avoiding harmful ones.
Foods that are bad for your heart
But coffee lovers still shouldn’t give up coffee completely, so as not to deprive themselves of this pleasure. It brings such pleasure positive attitude person, and joy only prolongs life. But you should keep in mind that you can drink no more than 1-2 cups a day of natural brewed coffee; we will not drink instant coffee, which contains even more artificial caffeine.
The most preferred drink is green tea. I think everyone has loved him for a long time.
List of healthy foods that strengthen your heart
Legumes. They contain calcium and soluble fiber, they activate digestion and heart function.
Meat low-fat varieties(beef, chicken, turkey).
Fish– on the contrary, it should be fatty: mackerel, herring, red fish. In addition to and even instead of fish, if you can’t eat it often, it is recommended to drink.
Olive oil. It helps regulate blood cholesterol levels.
Oatmeal. In addition to the many beneficial properties and vitamins we know, oatmeal also simply calms our heart.
Cottage cheese and dairy products, rich in calcium.
Multigrain bread. We exclude white yeast bread; it is better to eat rye or bran bread.
Vegetables and fruits. You need to eat about 400 grams of them per day. We focus on foods rich in potassium, these are: jacket potatoes, bananas, raisins, dried apricots, parsley and various greens in general.
In addition, raisins are a source of glucose, they are preferable to grapes, since they do not contain sugar, and glucose-containing substances go directly to the heart.
Folk remedies that strengthen the heart
In addition to proper nutrition, folk remedies will help strengthen the heart: herbs and mixtures. Here are a few recipes, generally known, but very effective and quite accessible and easy to use.
Strengthening tea made from hawthorn, rosehip and sea buckthorn
Even from hawthorn or rosehip alone it is useful to make drinks that have a general strengthening effect.
And tea from all three components is even more interesting, it nourishes, tones, and easily cleanses blood vessels.
To prepare strengthening tea, you will need dried fruits in equal quantities. If you prepared them for the winter yourself, that's great! I buy these berries at the market.
If the sea buckthorn is fresh or frozen, then you must first squeeze the juice out of it.
You can combine everything together (in equal parts) and pour it into one jar or linen bag. I store them separately and then take about one and a half teaspoons of each fruit to brew tea. If using mixture, use two tablespoons. This is the norm for 250 ml of water.
Pour boiling water over the fruits, let it brew for about 20 minutes. During this time, the tea will cool a little, strain it and add a teaspoon of honey.
It is advisable to drink this delicious drink twice a day.
Vitamin mixture MILOC
Probably the most famous and popular mixture that strengthens the heart and immunity, named after the initial letters of its components: honey, raisins, lemon, nuts and dried apricots. This mixture is very rich in potassium.
I usually take only 200 grams. I weigh raisins, nuts and dried apricots at the market when purchasing them, as well as lemons; usually one large lemon weighs that much.
I have my own homemade honey, 200 grams is about a little more than half a glass.
Walnuts are preferable, although others can also be used.
Raisins and dried apricots should be poured warm water, leave for a while to soften. Then dry on a paper towel.
I cut the lemon in half, then cut it into slices. Be sure to remove the seeds.
We grind all the solid ingredients through a meat grinder, add honey to the mixture, mix thoroughly and put it in a jar with a lid.
To prevent and strengthen the heart, you need to take 1-2 teaspoons of the mixture three times a day. It’s better to do this 30 minutes before meals, but I just eat it with tea.
True, I don’t regulate the number of spoons, and I often run out of the mixture quite quickly.
You can add prunes and pumpkin seeds, and a spoonful of cocoa.
Very tasty and healthy!
Viburnum with sugar or honey
Viburnum berry contains a rich list of vitamins, which is why it is used for colds and to treat many ailments.
And the most valuable element of viburnum is the glycoside viburnin, which gives it a bitter taste that spoils the impression of this healthy berry. But it just supports the heart muscle.
To avoid bitterness, viburnum can be doused with boiling water before use. And often it is mixed with sugar or honey. AND beneficial features will be preserved, less bitter, and convenient to store.
Viburnum is washed, dried and minced through a meat grinder. Add an equal amount of sugar or honey.
I eat a tablespoon of this mixture several times a day, as much as I want.
Lemon-garlic mixture
This recipe from Vanga perfectly cleans blood vessels.
Take 10 lemons, 10 heads of garlic and a liter of honey. Peel the garlic, cut the lemons and remove the seeds. We grind everything in a meat grinder and combine it with honey. The freshly prepared mixture should be kept in a dark place for 7 days.
Take two tablespoons in the morning.
Herbs that strengthen the heart
The list of herbs is also very well known, many of them we use.
Celandine. I take celandine infusion monthly to cleanse the liver. It is also useful for strengthening the heart. Read how to prepare and drink it.
Mint or lemon balm tea. I really like to add a sprig of dried herb when brewing black or green tea.
Or you can prepare tea from only one of these plants in the usual way: pour a sprig of dry herbs or two fresh ones with a glass of boiling water.
Hawthorn flowers
In addition to fruits, hawthorn flowers are also beneficial for the heart. You can make tea from them (2 tablespoons of inflorescences per glass of boiling water).
You can also make a drink from hawthorn flowers in combination with mistletoe and cudweed leaves. For a liter of boiling water, take 25 grams of a mixture of herbs, infuse and drink half a glass.

The only one reliable way Lose weight and make the whole body easier to work with - proper nutrition. Increasing the amount of fruits and vegetables in the diet, choosing lean meat and fermented milk products medium fat content, restrictions on sweets and flour - these are just some of the principles of a healthy diet.
Diet
Some products simply need to be included in the menu for those who care about vascular and heart health. Dark red and orange fruits strengthen the walls of blood vessels, vegetables and grains supply the body with fiber, and flaxseed oil and fish oil will become sources of important Omega-3 acids.
The question often arises about how to strengthen the heart and blood vessels using folk remedies. Since ancient times, hawthorn has been considered the main healer of our “motor”. Berry decoction reduces blood pressure, strengthens the nervous system, eliminates tachycardia and arrhythmia, and improves cerebral circulation.

Aerobic exercise
If you don’t know how to strengthen your heart, advice from a cardiologist will show you the right way. Flaw physical activity leads not only to excess weight, but also to weakening of the whole organism.
Doctors recommend starting training gradually, because excessive load will aggravate the situation. A little exercise in the morning will help “wake up” the body, which must include raising your arms and legs, swinging, walking in place, rotating your torso, limbs and shoulders. Five minutes will be enough to get a boost of energy.
Make time for more active activities at least two to three times a week. We are talking about dancing, running, aerobics, cycling or any other cardio activity. Even evening walks at a fast pace are suitable as an alternative.
In city parks, you can increasingly see small groups of people with poles similar to ski poles. Nordic walking is an incredibly popular form of physical activity that trains endurance, improves coordination and balance, and burns 46% more calories compared to regular walking. Trainers for Nordic walking hearts know.
Advice from cardiologists pays attention to three main rules of cardio training:
- Monitor your pulse. Optimal value- 120-130 beats per minute.
- Don't set records. There's no point in exhausting yourself for hours at the nearest school stadium. Aerobic training should last no more than 60 minutes, for weak blood vessels - 30 minutes.
- Follow the regime. 2-3 workouts per week will bring the desired result.
Cigarettes, coffee and alcohol
Giving up bad habits is perhaps the most important item on our list. During your next smoke break at work, you can only dream about how to strengthen your heart. Advice from a cardiologist in this case categorical:
- Nicotine. Helps increase blood pressure and blood viscosity, increases heart rate and destroys the walls of blood vessels.
- Alcohol. The load on the heart is alcohol intoxication increases several times. You are literally poisoning him with toxic substances. Heavy drinkers are three times more likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease.
- Coffee. Drinking more than four cups of aromatic drink a day can lead to a heart attack, especially if you combine coffee and cigarettes.
Do you want to strengthen your heart? Advice from a cardiologist encourages you to remember good rest. lack of sleep, jet lag - emotional stress negatively affects the functioning of the cardiovascular system.
Much more often than people with normal weight. Overweight make the heart work harder.
There is a special formula by which everyone can calculate their optimal weight. To do this, you need to take your characteristics as a basis - height, weight, age and physique. For example, with a height of 1 m 60 cm and a weight of 73 kg, the calculation will be as follows:
BMI = 73: (1.60 x 1.60) = 28.52
Indicators of normal BMI: 18–40 years old – 19–25; 40 years and over – 19–30. With a narrow bone, the BMI norm can be lowered to 18, with a wide bone - increased to 33 ().
Prevention of cardiovascular diseases - the path to a healthy heart
In order for the heart to always remain healthy, it is necessary to prevent cardiovascular diseases.
To begin with, if you are following a diet, think about how well thought out it is. As a rule, when going on any diet, the last thing a person thinks about is his heart. Therefore, it is very important to adhere to proper nutrition. 50–60% daily diet should consist of fresh vegetables and fruits.

- Strengthen your spine. All organs are inextricably linked to the central nervous system. Thus, diseases of the spine lead to disruption of the passage of nerve impulses and difficulty in blood flow. As a result, the required amount of oxygen does not reach the heart. This leads to heart disease.

- Reduce your intake of stimulating foods and drinks. These include seasonings, strong tea, coffee and others.

Include foods containing magnesium and calcium in your diet (cabbage, pumpkin, parsley, almonds, walnuts, sesame seeds, dried apricots, cod, halibut, sunflower seeds and others). They remove excess fluid from the body and help improve heart function.

It is also not recommended to completely give up fats and cholesterol. They promote the synthesis of hormones and the formation of cell membranes.
