Cardiovascular health is significant with regard to general good health and long life. Here are some key steps to enhance your heart health:

 

• Dietary Choices: Select a diet high in fibers that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, wholegrain, protein, and healthy oil. Cut down on salt and saturated fats, avoid processed foods, sugary drinks, or too much caffeine.
  
   
• Regular Exercise: Participate in at least fifteen hours of intense aerobic exercise, which can be achieved by either taking part in two and a half hours’ worth of moderate-intensity aerobic exercises or one hour and a quarter of strenuous training exercises weekly. Other activities such as brisk walking, jogging, swimming, or riding bicycles improve the heart.
