5 things to do for reducing heart attacks

1. Get outside

Dr. Jack says that the more time you spend outdoors, the lower your risk of a heart attack. Fresh air, natural light, and movement can do wonders for your heart and overall well-being.

2. Get better sleep

“Whatever time you’re currently going to bed, make it an hour earlier,” he advises. Quality sleep gives your heart the rest it needs and supports better recovery and hormone balance.

3. Reduce screen time

Dr. Jack suggests cutting back on technology. “Just dial down on the tech, you’ll be much better off,” he says. Less screen time can lead to better sleep, reduced stress, and more time to engage in heart-healthy habits.

4. Stand outside barefoot

“Stand outside barefoot, it’s called grounding, and it’s great for your heart,” says Dr. Jack. Grounding, or connecting with the earth, is believed to reduce inflammation and improve circulation.

5. Practice gratitude

“At least once a day, give thanks to God,” he shares. Taking time for gratitude can lower stress, improve mood, and support a healthier heart by reducing cortisol levels.
