Today, I’m going to cover the top unhealthy habits that can ruin heart health.

1. Believing everything you read on labels
Food labels can be misleading. Even foods marketed as essential to a heart-healthy diet may have damaging health effects.

2. Staying out of the sun
Avoiding the sun can lower your vitamin D levels. Vitamin D is one of the most important vitamins for supporting a healthy body, including cardiovascular health.

3. Excessive sitting
A fascinating study shows a sedentary lifestyle may increase the risk of heart disease and stroke.

4. Overusing medication
Consider working with a doctor who is open to natural alternatives for various conditions.

5. Snacking
Snacking before bed ruins your ability to burn fat while you sleep. Fat burning occurs mainly at night!

6. Drinking too much water
Drinking too much water while on a low-salt diet can dilute an important electrolyte: sodium.

7. Ignoring dental care
Certain studies have found dental bacteria in arterial plaque. Tooth infections can also lead to health issues.

8. Mouth breathing
Nose breathing may help you sleep better at night—good sleep is vital for heart health.

9. Exposure to microplastics
Microplastics are everywhere and have become a big issue. It has been found that the average person has microplastics in their blood.

10. Feeling out of breath when exercising
Feeling out of breath very quickly when exercising could be a sign of a heart issue you should not ignore.

11. Jet lag
Jet lag dramatically affects sleep cycles and can lead to fluid retention. If you fly frequently, taking niacin may help, and vitamin D3 may also be beneficial for jet lag.

12. Excessive cardio without rest
Sustained pulse rate exercise is hard on the heart and body.

13. Secondhand smoke exposure
Secondhand smoke can increase the risk of heart attack by 25-30%.

14. Consuming refined foods
Magnesium is one of the most important nutrients for the heart. But refined foods deplete magnesium.

Along with avoiding these unhealthy habits, try incorporating cold immersion therapy, managing stress, and improving your sleep to promote a healthy heart and reduce your risk of a heart problem. You can also discover more about truly heart-healthy foods in my other videos.

A guy with trigeminal neuralgia goes into the hospital for extreme pain. They send him home because they don't handle dental problems. .... I go into the hospital having a heart attack. Do they do anything to stop the attack, like intravenous magnesium? No. It was basically "go home if you don't want surgery." I went home.

Marathon runner Jim Fixx died of a heart attack at the age of 52, while he was running. He was in shape to run, however he was a junk food eater. Despite running 80 miles a week, his diet killed him.

Good morning. Believing everything you read on labels. Same apply on supplement. There are a lot of supplements in the market that do not contain what it says in the label or contain toxic in other ingredients and hidden ingredients.
