Healthline defines heart problems as conditions that have a detrimental effect on the heart and hinder its functions, causing a wide range of symptoms including weakness, shortness of breath, and others.
WebMD reports that heart disease is one of the main causes of death worldwide. All s£xes are vulnerable, although the elderly are at a higher risk. This unsettling report highlights the significance of taking preventative action, as cardiovascular diseases, stroke, and hypertension are also top causes of death for those over the age of 60.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends addressing lifestyle risk factors such sedentary behavior, smoking, obesity, excessive alcohol consumption, and poor nutrition in order to prevent or slow the development of most cardiovascular diseases. Those over the age of 60 are more likely to make unhealthy food choices first thing in the morning. This occurs for a variety of reasons, including a diminished appetite, alterations in digestion, and shifts in the way our systems metabolize nutrients.
Breakfast and other morning meals give us the fuel and nutrients we need to get through the day. Because of the aim to extend one's lifespan, it is essential that one consumes a healthy diet at all times. WebMD suggests the following heart-healthy breakfast foods for those in their 60s to ward off cardiovascular disease.
Tea.
Both high blood cholesterol and high blood pressure are well-known contributors to cardiovascular disease and stroke. Because of its high concentration of antioxidant polyphenols like catechins, tea consumption has been linked to a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and a lowering of LDL cholesterol (the "bad" kind of cholesterol) and plaque buildup in the arteries. Caffeine's antioxidant properties, in addition to its stimulating effects, may actually be beneficial to cardiovascular health.
Soy milk
Isoflavones, phytoestrogens, potassium, calcium, magnesium, B vitamins, folate, and many others are just some of the heart-healthy components that may be found in soy milk (a B vitamin). If you want better heart health and reduced cholesterol, try eating these foods and taking these supplements.
Oats
Oatmeal's cholesterol-lowering properties come from the soluble fiber and omega-3 fats it contains. The nutritional value of this dish can be increased by adding heart-healthy ingredients like fresh berries and almonds.
In this case, the sweet potato
Low in fat and high in fiber, sweet potatoes are good for your heart. Vitamins A, C, and E, as well as the B vitamins, folate, calcium, and potassium, are all examples of such nutrients. Eating sweet potatoes, which are high in vitamin B6, helps reduce homocysteine levels, a chemical linked to an increased risk of heart attacks.
