Healthy Heart Habits for Senior Citizens

Age is a risk factor for many health issues, including heart disease. Notable examples include cardiovascular disease, hypertension, heart attacks, and strokes. We provide Home Care Services in Oakland Park, Florida, to help seniors get healthier and more independent at home, and here are some healthy habits that may help your elderly loved ones improve their heart health:

• Try to Be More Physically Active

  Regular exercise improves the ability of the muscles in the heart to pull oxygen out of the blood, optimizing how the heart pumps blood across the body and reducing the need for the heart to pump more blood to the muscles. Exercise for the elderly is one of the home care services we offer.

• Avoid Alcohol and Smoking

  Smoking and excessive drinking increase the formation of plaque in the blood vessels, making it more difficult for the heart to pump blood effectively.

• Observe Good Oral Hygiene

  Poor dental health can increase the risk of a bacterial infection in the bloodstream. Gum disease is also associated with an increased risk of heart disease. We offer Personal Home Care in North Palm Beach, Florida, to help seniors address personal hygiene issues, including dental health issues.

We offer reliable home healthcare services to help your loved ones improve their overall health and wellness at home. Call ASZ Caring Hearts Inc. at 866-981-2843 for inquiries. Our services include senior care, children medical service, private medical services, and more.
