During the summer heat, special attention must be paid to heart health, as active recreation and sweltering weather put a greater strain on the heart. Those suffering from cardiovascular diseases should be especially careful. Here are five tips on what to do during the summer heat to support your heart.
WATER
During the hot time of the year, the human body is in special need of fluids. Healthcare professionals recommend consuming fluids in small portions throughout the day. It is advisable to drink water or water with lemon or fresh berries.
CLOTHING
In sweltering weather, the choice of appropriate clothing is extremely important. It is advisable to choose light and loose clothing made of thin, breathable material. When outside, it is also necessary to protect your head with a hat.
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY
In the summer heat, it is advisable to avoid physical overexertion and intense workouts, especially if you have no prior preparation. Gardening is also counted among physical activities. However, if activity is necessary, it is better to schedule it for the early morning hours or the evening to reduce physical strain during the hottest hours of the day when solar intensity is at its highest.
PULSE AND BLOOD PRESSURE
Not only those suffering from cardiovascular diseases, but everyone during the hot time of the year should pay special attention to their pulse (at rest it should not exceed 70-80 beats/minute) and blood pressure (at rest it should not exceed 140/85 mmHg), and carefully take their daily blood pressure-normalizing medications. If necessary, consult a doctor and take medications.
MEDICATIONS
People with previously diagnosed heart and cardiovascular diseases, and those who take medications, should regularly measure their pulse and blood pressure and take all medications prescribed by doctors. It is also worth supporting the heart with natural preparations, such as VALERON - a complex of plant extracts and biologically active substances with thiamine, which promotes normal heart function.
Thiamine included in VALERON's composition promotes normal heart function. The composition also contains potassium, which helps maintain normal blood pressure, and magnesium, which promotes heart muscle function and helps reduce tension. The complex of plant extracts promotes relaxation and normalizes heart function. Valerian root extract and hawthorn inflorescence extract reduce irritability, promote normal heart function, protecting against heart palpitations. All biologically active substances included in the composition enhance each other's effects, ensuring VALERON's higheffectiveness.
