Acupuncture for Heart Failure
This ancient and traditional Chinese treatment can help those who suffer from heart failure by lowering stress levels and ultimately improving heart function. It is believed that the energies (chi) running through your body work together to keep you healthy, so when they are out of line you are more likely to get a disease, disorder, or suffer from pain. An acupuncturist will aim to realign and balance your chi. It involves the use of tiny metallic needles which are inserted into the skin and then manually moved or electronically manipulated.
Stress Reduction for Heart Failure
When you suffer from stress it raises your cortisol levels which can cause inflammation when unaddressed. Those who suffer from stress are more likely to develop heart problems. It is recommended to practise stress relief and remove factors that might cause stress. For example, stop drinking caffeine and alcohol, stop smoking, attempting a proper sleep pattern. Lifestyle changes can help with stress such as exercising, mediating, being creative, journaling.
Diet for Heart Failure
It is important to follow a heart healthy diet when suffering or prone to heart failure. Eating a balanced diet can reduce inflammation and high blood pressure, as well as high cholesterol. Try to increase your intake of antioxidants and fibre. Other foods might include vegetables, herbs, legumes, green tea, and red wine in moderation.
