Get enough sleep from "summary" of Prevent a Second Heart Attack by Janet Bond Brill, PhD, RD, LDN
The importance of sleep cannot be overstated when it comes to preventing a second heart attack. Getting enough quality sleep is crucial for maintaining overall health and well-being. Sleep allows our bodies to rest and repair, helping to reduce stress and inflammation - two key factors in heart health. When we don't get enough sleep, our bodies can become more vulnerable to a host of health problems, including high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes. These conditions are all risk factors for heart disease, so it's clear that sleep plays a vital role in protecting our hearts. In addition to physical health, sleep also has a significant impact on our mental and emotional well-being. Lack of sleep can lead to irritability, mood swings, and difficulty concentrating - all of which can affect our relationships and work performance. By prioritizing sleep, we can improve our overall quality of life and reduce the risk of a second heart attack.- It's important to establish a bedtime routine and create a sleep-friendly environment. This may include avoiding electronics before bed, keeping your bedroom cool and dark, and practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or meditation. By making sleep a priority and taking steps to improve your sleep hygiene, you can help protect your heart and overall health in the long run.
