How to maintain heart health?

To reduce heart risk, it's important to engage in moderate exercise for at least 2.5 hours a week, eat a healthy diet, and monitor your blood pressure, heart rate, and cholesterol. It's also important to take care of your teeth: bacteria from your gums can enter the bloodstream and damage blood vessels.

Maintaining targeted blood pressure and regular checkups reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Professional oral hygiene and timely gum treatment help reduce systemic inflammation and protect blood vessels.
