Today, we will cover 5 more tips for a healthy heart.

Tip #9: Sip Green Team. Drinking a cup of green tea can increase your blood flow in as little as 30 minutes according to a recent study in the “European Journal of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation.” It is the antioxidants in the green tea which improves blood vessel function.

Tip #10: Get The Right Amount of “Shut-Eye”. Women who got just 5 hours a sleep a night are twice as likely to fall into the women’s heart attack group. Sleep deprivation can promote calcium build-up in the arteries which can lead to plaque says Dr. Michelle Miller. So ladies, get in your “shut-eye.”

Tip #11: Get a Furball. Pets can be very soothing. A recent study found that cat owners were up to 40% less likely to die from a heart attack than those without a cat friend. This study was done by Dr. Adnan Quershi of the Zeenalt Quersahi Stroke Research Center. Dogs probably provide the same benefit.

Tip #12: Clear the Air. Reseach from the University of Michigan found that pollutants such as soot, nitrates, and metals can cause inflammation in the body. This can result in the hearts arteries being less flexible and can trigger a spike in blood pressure. A suggestion would be to invest in a HEPA filter such as those sold by Honeywell ($111 at amazon.com).
