Mehmet Oz, director of the Cardiovascular Institute at Columbia
University-New York Presbyterian Hospital in New York, may be a renowned
heart surgeon(著名心脏外科专家), but he'd rather help prevent heart disease
than do another bypass operation. Despite risk factors you can't change,
such as family history, the way you live does make a difference, he says.
Here is his pain-free prescription:
1. Go out and play. You are better off(良好状况) being in good shape and
fat than thin and in bad shape. There's no pill or diet that can substitute
for(替代) the health benefits of exercise. Don't starve yourself, but eat
well and get moving, doing whatever kind of exercise is fun for you. Go for
a bike ride with your spouse, or play basketball with your kids. You'll
look and feel better, and your heart will thank you.
2. Watch your waistline(腰围). Despite the advice above, where your fat
lands (脂肪堆积在哪里)is key. Abdominal fat(腹部脂肪) is a risk factor for
metabolic syndrome(新陈代谢综合症), which dramatically increases the risk
of heart disease. So do sit-ups(仰卧起坐) and keep your waist measurement(腰
围) less than 102 centimetres for men and 89 centimetres for women.
3. Have sex. Sexual activity can provide exercise and emotional bonding,
perhaps explaining why one study shows that having orgasms(高潮) at least
100 times a year (that's twice a week) is associated with longevity(长寿).
On the other hand, sexual dysfunction(性功能障碍) can be a signal of heart
disease. Erections of the penis(阴茎勃起) reflect the vascular health of a
man's heart, so trouble may mean it's time to see your doctor.
4. Go nuts. Rich in healthy fats, nuts are great to snack on and very
filling, so you don't feel compelled to eat as much junk food(垃圾食品).
5. Relieve the pressure. Emotional stress causes physical stress. Avoid
traffic jams, for example, which studies show are associated with heart
attacks. Relaxation techniques keep the heart healthy. Yoga(瑜珈) and
meditation(闭目养神) are great, but even simple stress-reduction techniques
can work. Try counting to ten and taking yourself outside the situation, as
if observing it.
Stress can also raise your blood pressure, and studies show that people
with the lowest blood pressure have the fewest heart attacks. What we once
thought was normal may be way too high for heart health. While we don't
know yet how low is low enough, if you have heart-disease risk factors and
your blood pressure is 130/80 or higher, see your doctor.
