5 Habits for a Healthier Heart

By Dr. Layla Ahmed · · 4 min read

Small daily choices that protect your cardiovascular health over a lifetime.

Your heart works around the clock, and a few consistent habits go a long way.

1. Move for 30 minutes a day — even brisk walking counts. 2. Cut added salt and processed foods to keep blood pressure in range. 3. Prioritise sleep; poor sleep raises cardiovascular risk. 4. Manage stress with breathing exercises or short breaks. 5. Track your blood pressure regularly and share readings with your doctor.

Consistency beats intensity — start with one habit this week.
