A leading cardiologist has revealed the five essential things we should all do to avoid an early death\u2014and insists ‘it’s not just about exercise and salads’.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In an Instagram post viewed nearly 500,000 times, Memphis-based medic Dr Dmitry Yaranov warns that sleep, pollution, stress, oral health and diet all play a major role heart health.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘After treating thousands of patients with heart failure, these are the things I wish more people knew before it was too late.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Here’s what’s actually affecting your heart\u2014and nobody’s talking about it,’ he said in the viral video in which he listed the five points in the caption.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Cardiovascular health isn’t just about exercise and salads,’\u00a0the expert added.\u00a0‘It’s sleep, stress, air, access, and even your gut.’ <\/p>\n

Getting fewer than eight hours’ sleep a night can raise your risk of heart failure, stroke or sudden death, he warned beneath the 30-second clip.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Blood pressure usually drops during sleep\u2014but poor sleep disrupts this, causing sustained high blood pressure, a key driver of heart disease, according to the British Heart Foundation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Dr Yaranov also noted that daily exposure to air pollution\u2014’breathing in exhaust every day’\u2014can harden the arteries, leading to plaque build-up, restricted blood flow and a higher risk of heart attacks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"In <\/p>\n

In a viral video shared to Instagram that has been seen nearly 500,000 times, leading cardiologist Dr Dimitry Yaranov has said sleep, pollution, stress, teeth health, and diet can all have a major impact on your heart<\/p>\n

\"Regularly <\/p>\n

Regularly sleeping less than the recommended eight hours a night can raise your risk of heart failure, stroke, and sudden death<\/p>\n

Next, he explained that constantly \u2018pushing through\u2019 stress can raise levels of cortisol\u2014the body\u2019s main stress hormone\u2014which, in excess, triggers high blood pressure and inflammation that damages blood vessels.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Oral health is another unlikely factor that can cause heart issues, which the doctor added to his list.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Improper care of your teeth can cause gum disease and the inflammation associated with this puts you at a higher risk of heart attack.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another significant issue he pointed out was that people should also focus more on improving their gut health as the\u00a0microbiomes help regulate blood pressure and cholesterol.<\/p>\n

While living in an area with poor access to healthy food will only lead to worse cardiac outcomes, he then warned.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It comes as an epidemic of the disease has hit young people, experts warned last year.<\/p>\n

Early deaths from heart disease hit their highest level in more than a decade, figures revealed. But now obesity, diabetes and undiagnosed high blood pressure are reversing six decades of progress.<\/p>\n

Data analysed by the British Heart Foundation shows progress in the battle against the killer condition appears to have come to an end.<\/p>\n

The latest figures for 2022 reveal that heart disease killed 80 out of every 100,000 people in England \u2013 the highest rate since 2011, when it was 83.<\/p>\n

Heart fatalities in the under-75s have risen for three consecutive years.<\/p>\n
