save your heart

Heart stroke now a very common deadly disease in all over the world.Here Some tips were described.Which may help you...

1.
Hypertension (blood pressure that’s 140/90 or higher) is the most common risk factor for heart disease. When blood pressure is elevated, your heart has to work harder to pump blood through your body. "That damages the lining of your arteries, leading to plaque buildup, which can ultimately cause a heart attack or stroke," says New York City cardiologist Richard Stein, M.D., a spokesman for the American Heart Association. To maintain a healthy blood pressure (120/80 or lower), eat these foods regularly.

2.A potassium powerhouse, this vegetable supplies nearly 1,000 milligrams (mg) of the mineral per cup, cooked. Studies show you need about 4,000 mg of potassium (found in fruits, vegetables, legumes, and yogurt) a day to keep blood pressure low. "When you don’t get enough potassium, sodium levels in your body rise, which causes a buildup of fluid in the cells, increasing blood pressure," says Stein. On top of that, the greens are rich in calcium and magnesium, which also help prevent hypertension. Not a Swiss chard lover? The rainbow variety, with stalks that are yellow, red, or hot pink, tastes less bitter than other types and is worth a try.

3.They’re a healthy substitute for salt, which has almost 2,400 mg of sodium per teaspoon—more than what you should get in an entire day if you want to control your blood pressure. Instead, try sprinkling dishes you’d usually salt with chopped fresh herbs, which are typically more flavorful than dried ones. Chives and rosemary complement potatoes, parsley perks up eggs, sage goes well with poultry, and thyme can add zip to air-popped popcorn. As an added bonus, herbs are rich in antioxidants that protect your cells against the kind of damage that can lead to heart disease. If you simply can’t cut out salt completely, try this trick: Use a mortar and pestle to crush the kosher variety (which has about half the sodium of table salt) with herbs like oregano, thyme, and lavender, suggests Connie Gutterson, Ph.D., a registered dietitian and nutrition instructor at the Culinary Institute of America in Napa, California

4.Have yogurt for breakfast and as a snack. It has about 50 percent more blood pressure–lowering calcium and potassium than lowfat milk. In studies, people who ate enough of these two minerals and kept their sodium intake low experienced drops in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. The reduction is larger in people with hypertension, but yogurt also lowers blood pressure a little in people with normal levels. This is important, because the closer you can get your blood pressure to a healthy level of 120/80, the better off your heart will be. If you’re not a yogurt fan, drink lowfat or nonfat milk instead, or use it as an ingredient in everyday cooking, suggests Susan Moores, R.D., a nutritionist in St. Paul, Minnesota, who specializes in heart disease. "Substitute an equal amount of milk for water in packaged foods that need to be reconstituted, like instant oatmeal, condensed soup, and hot chocolate.
