New Year is here, and resolutions related to health and well-being could guarantee an invigorating and fulfilling future. Although most people vow to eat nutritious food or quit smoking and alcohol, it becomes extremely difficult to follow these resolutions after a while. Here are some New Year resolutions that could make your heart healthy and stronger. However, make sure to follow these resolutions throughout the year.
1) Avoid prolonged sitting
Reduce your sitting time and keep your body as active and moving as possible. If you work by sitting for hours, take short walks of a few minutes every two hours. It is said that sitting continuously for hours is tantamount to smoking, which adversely affects heart health and quality of life.

2) Healthy diet
Including vegetables, pulses, chicken, eggs, dairy products, and grains in your regular diet could reduce the risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
3) Avoid sugary drinks
If you cannot quit sugar completely, try avoiding sugary drinks. Reducing the amount of sugar in your tea and coffee could do wonders for your health. Consuming too much sugar could lead to fatty liver, heart disease and diabetes.

4) Good sleep
Sleeping 7 – 8 hours is key to ensuring a healthy heart. Lack of sleep could lead to stress and heart ailments.
5) Reduce usage of phone
Instead of mindlessly scrolling on your mobile phone screen, try to get out and enjoy the beauty of nature. Getting addicted to mobile phones may cause depression, anxiety and loneliness.
6) Quit smoking and drinking
Quitting smoking and drinking would reduce high blood pressure, calm heart rates and improve the quality of life.
7) Regular health checkups
Even with no history of heart disease in your family, do not hesitate to do regular health checkups. Catching the symptoms earlier could be helpful in timely medical intervention and recovery.
