Integrated HealthCare of South Florida suggest you follow these simple recommendations for improved heart health:

Physical Activity
One of the best ways to improve your heart health is through daily physical activity. High blood sugar and high blood pressure can both contribute to heart attacks and strokes. These factors can be managed through implementing an effective workout routine into your weekly schedule. Exercise is scientifically proven to be one of the best ways to improve your heart strength.
 
Supplements & Diet
Additionally, cardiologists suggest taking supplements such as fish oil, vitamin E, and coenzyme Q10 to promote a healthy heart. There are also certain heart-healthy foods including dark chocolate, walnuts, leafy greens, avocados, and berries that can support your heart’s health.
 
Annual Check Ups
Regular visits to your primary care physician or cardiologist can help prevent the development of a cardiovascular disease. The next time you speak with your doctor, ask about what exercises, supplements, and food choices could benefit you and your heart health.

Cardiologists are responsible for assessing, diagnosing, treating, and managing health diseases. They have the advanced training necessary to provide you with care you need to keep your heart as healthy as possible.
