We've all heard about the executive who retires in the spring only to pass away before winter. While some may assume they failed to adjust to retirement, it's often the result of years spent neglecting personal well-being, eventually catching up with them.
It's easy to get caught in a whirlwind of demanding schedules and endless priorities, fueled by caffeine to keep going. Often, self-care takes a back seat because there's no time for exercise or eating well. However, research suggests that even minor lifestyle changes can significantly impact a long and healthy life.
Here are some valuable tips:
Maintain a Long Fuse
While it was once believed that ambitious Type A personalities were most prone to heart attacks, recent research indicates that hostility, anger, and cynicism are more dangerous. Dr. Murray Mittleman, a cardiovascular epidemiologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, found that those who were angry two hours before a heart attack were twice as likely to experience one.Lighten Up
Growing evidence links depression to heart disease. Johns Hopkins researchers followed 1,551 people and discovered that those with a history of major depression were four times more likely to have a heart attack.Get Moving
Regular exercise helps with weight control, circulation, and diabetes risk and acts as an antidepressant. A Duke University study found that 60% of those who walked briskly for 30 minutes three times a week were no longer depressed after 16 weeks. Exercise can be as effective as medication for mild depression.Trim Your Waistline
Over 50 years ago, French scientist Jean Vague noted that people with upper-body fat (apple-shaped) faced higher risks for heart disease and diabetes. Abdominal fat is particularly dangerous but also burns off fastest. Even a slight weight reduction can combat heart disease risk.Limit Bad Habits
Habits like heavy drinking, smoking, overeating, and over-caffeinating contribute significantly to heart disease. Drinking and smoking can increase dangerous abdominal fat, while excessive caffeine raises blood pressure in stressed individuals.Boost Your Metabolism
Research shows that a healthy metabolic profile is more critical than cardiovascular fitness or weight. A Japanese study found that men on a low-intensity exercise program improved their metabolic health, a strong defense against heart disease and diabetes, even without weight loss.Prioritize Sleep
A study of 72,000 nurses published in the Archives of Internal Medicine showed that both too little and too much sleep can increase heart disease risk. Women who slept five hours or less were 39% more likely to develop heart disease, while those sleeping nine or more hours had a 37% higher risk.Invest in your health today for a better tomorrow.
