The first major line of defense for living a heart healthy lifestyle is the monitoring of what you put into your mouth every day. It's all about gradual, incremental changes.
So how do you go about being more heart-healthy? It's simple, in short you eat well, stress less, move more and love more.
Some of the ways you can lower your blood pressure is consuming an optimal diet for the heart that includes a healthy balance of good fats, lean protein and complex carbs that are important sources of fiber.
People becomes very reluctant when it comes to making changes. I’ll mention that cardiovascular disease complications are so prevalent the odds are you'll die from some form of it, be it heart attack, high blood pressure, stroke, or other diseases of the heart and blood vessels. I started eating mindfully and you can too, starting right now.

Supporting The Lymphatic System!
The lymphatic system monitors and filters out foreign invaders, such as bacteria, viruses, and cancer cells. To put it mildly all of our cellular waste is cleaned in the lymph nodes then recycled back to the blood. Today you’ll learn how you can easily support this system.
Hello, you’re listening to High Blood Pressure Wellness Lifestyle Podcast with Donna Williams. Hi, I’m Donna Williams, Certified Holistic Health Coach, owner and creator of infoonhbp.com website. I run a 30-day mindful eating online program founded on the principle of simplicity and balance in our daily meals. It moves away from the idea that healthy eating requires complicated recipes or strict adherence to rigid dietary rules. Instead, its focus is on understanding the fundamental principles of a nourishing meal and how to apply this knowledge to every plate you prepare, no matter where you are.
Within your magnificent body, there’s a network of lymph glands (nodes) and lymphatic vessels that makes up the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is the cleaner for the body, it works much like your circulatory system. Infection-fighting white blood cells produced by the spleen, bone marrow, and thymus circulate through this system.
What Weakens The Immune System?
How To Support The Lymphatic System To Stay Strong And Healthy!
- Engage in lymphatic massage.
- Drink your water.
- Submerge yourself in water too.
- Try apple cider vinegar.
- Add cardio workouts to your routine.
- Engage in deep breathing.
- Pick a time to meditate.
- Eat healthy, fibrous foods.
Mindful Eating Online Program! I want to introduce to you how Mindfulness practices can help us all cultivate awareness, reduce stress – a major risk factor to our immune system that can make a person more vulnerable to more serious infections, and develop a greater sense of connection to ourselves and the world around us. By dedicating time each day to mindfulness, we can improve our mental and emotional well-being, leading to inc
