Surgeon reveals 5 tips to prevent vascular diseases


Active physical life is the first step of this proposal

Five tips to prevent vascular diseases

Active lifestyle

Walking, swimming or cycling promote blood circulation and strengthen blood vessels.

Balanced diet

Eat a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins to keep your cholesterol levels and blood pressure in check.

Avoid smoking

Smoking is a significant risk factor for the development of vascular disease. Quitting smoking or avoiding smoking can dramatically reduce this risk.

Check your blood pressure

Maintain your blood pressure within healthy limits through a balanced diet, regular exercise, and medications prescribed by your doctor, if necessary.

Avoid sitting for long periods

Avoid sitting or standing for long periods without moving. Take breaks to move your legs, especially during long journeys or prolonged periods of work.

Number

The WHO (World Health Organization) survey indicates that approximately 47% of the Brazilian population does not exercise frequently, but only 14% exercise for at least 10 minutes, an average that worries experts.
