Heart health can be managed, particularly when you start from an early age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/healthy-living\/healthy-lifestyle\/prevent-heart-disease-and-stroke\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">American Heart Association<\/a>&nbsp;makes recommendations on how to combat cardiovascular disease. Some of their guidelines include eating a healthy diet, being physically active on a regular basis and avoiding harmful habits like smoking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from diet and exercise, people are advised to make sure they get plenty of sleep and even take good care&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.heart.org\/news\/good-dental-health-may-help-prevent-heart-infection-from-mouth-bacteria\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">of their teeth<\/a>. In other words, good overall health can help prevent heart-related problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are different types of cardiovascular conditions. One is&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.heart.org\/en\/health-topics\/consumer-healthcare\/what-is-cardiovascular-disease\/coronary-artery-disease\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">coronary heart disease<\/a>, which can contribute to death by a sudden heart attack. When someone suffers from coronary heart disease, fatty deposits build up on artery walls, and it may lead to the development of blood clots. This then narrows the artery, and the heart could have difficulty working the way it needs to in order to deliver oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. A heart attack is usually a symptom or a result of coronary heart disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>Summing Up \u2014 Alcohol and the Heart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The AHA advises against the consumption of alcohol for the prevention of heart disease. They recommend a heart-healthy diet, exercise and routine screening for high blood pressure and high cholesterol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With alcohol and the heart, excessive drinking can significantly increase your risk of developing very serious cardiovascular conditions, including high blood pressure and cardiomyopathy. The importance of heart health is just one more reason to make sure you don\u2019t drink excessively, and if you do, to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.therecoveryvillage.com\/alcohol-abuse\/treatment-rehab\/\">seek help<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was previously believed that a daily glass of red wine benefits the heart, but the cardiovascular risks of alcohol consumption far outweigh any benefit.
