There’s something special about entering your 30s. You’re still young but it’s when you’re officially transitioning into the “real” world of adulthood. It’s an exciting time to embrace — one where you still enjoy a lot of the same things you would do in your earlier days, but you also feel a sense of maturity setting in by taking on more responsibility as you go on to live a more independent life.
In terms of health, it’s time to consciously define some healthy habits in your 30s to ensure you are fit as a fiddle as you march into the future. Your body starts showing signs of change. External lifestyle factors such as stress, smoking, alcohol consumption, and lack of exercise play a role in the development of cardiovascular problems. As responsibilities increase in our 30s, so does the impact of these lifestyle factors, given that people tend to turn to unhealthy habits as coping mechanisms. Since these factors can directly impact your heart, you build healthy habits in your 30s to lay the foundation for a healthy heart, and therefore, a healthier future.
We recommend a few heart health tips you can take early on and keep heart healthy and strong to prevent the risk of heart problems as we grow older. Let us look at some ways to keep our hearts healthy as we age.
