8 Common Things Cardiologists Try to Avoid

Ignoring gum health 

Not many people realize that gum heath is closely related to heart health, but recent studies have revealed a link. Inflammation is a key part of both gum disease and heart disease, and bad bacteria are related to both, so along with other heart healthy habits, add flossing to your daily healthy heart checklist.

 

Loading up on salty snacks 

Be conscious of your salt intake. After all, excess sodium in your diet can cause the body to retain fluids, which can raise your blood pressure and restrict your arteries. The American Heart Association recommends you stay under 1,500 mg of sodium per day. And if you’re finding that you’re overdoing it in the sodium department, cut back immediately on processed and packaged products.
