has divulged some vital tips for maintaining heart health, including a stark warning about a common habit that \u2018doubles the risk\u2019 of a heart attack.<\/p>\n
In a video posted on Healthspan\u2019s Instagram page, the 71 year old doctor is seen brandishing<\/p>\n
a model heart, telling his audience: \u201cTake a look at this, this is exactly what your<\/p>\n
heart looks like.\u201d He continued, emphasizing the importance of heart care: \u201cI think you\u2019ll agree,<\/p>\n
considering what it does for you, that it\u2019s worth looking after.\u201d<\/p>\n
The seasoned physician highlighted the dangers of being overweight, advising:<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t strain it [your heart] by carrying too much weight, exercise it regularly \u2013 it\u2019s a muscle \u2013 it loves a bit of exercise.\u201d He also cautioned against allowing cholesterol to \u2018clog up your heart\u2019.<\/p>\n
In his message about a widespread habit, Dr Hilary warned: \u201cDon\u2019t smoke, your heart hates that,\u201d<\/p>\n
and then queried his viewers: \u201cWhat do you do to look after your heart? \u201c, reports Surrey Live.<\/p>\n
The NHS underscores that smoking significantly increases the likelihood of developing<\/p>\n
cardiovascular diseases, which encompass coronary heart disease and stroke.<\/p>\n
It further notes that smokers are almost twice as likely to experience a heart attack in comparison to non-smokers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
