<\/a><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nYour mouth is typically a good indicator of your overall well-being. Individuals with periodontal disease have the same risk factors as those with heart disease. Diseases such as diabetes, stroke, heart disease, and Alzthemiers can all be connected to oral health. Frankel Dentistry wants to see you live a healthy, happy life with smiles to share for years to come. How can you make sure you\u2019re practicing a healthy lifestyle?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Here are some heart healthy habits to help encourage a healthy lifestyle!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
- \r\n
- A healthy diet<\/strong>.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Limit your fat and sodium consumption! Highly fat foods are known to increase your risk of heart disease or stroke. This is because fatty foods increase cholesterol which lead to high blood pressure, build up in the blood, clogged arteries, and more.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
A heart healthy diet includes whole grains, fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and limit processed foods.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
- \r\n
- Exercise!<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
30 minutes a few days a week is all you need! Cardio exercises such as walking, running, cycling, or exercise classes all help strengthen your heart. Find a form of exercise you love and will look forward to!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
- \r\n
- DENTAL CARE<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
As you know a healthy mouth promotes a healthy body! Studies have shown bacteria in the mouth creates plaque which can move into the bloodstream and increase your risk for diabetes, stroke, and more. Remember to brush twice a day for at least two minutes, floss regularly, and schedule your recare appointments!\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
- \r\n
- Quality rest.<\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Quality sleep is essential to your health and well-being. Sleep allows your heart to rest as well as improve blood pressure and heart rate. We recommend a 7-8 hours of quality rest a night.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
