1.Leaving hostility¹ and depression unchecked

1.放任敌意和沮丧的情绪

Are you feeling stressed, hostile, or depressed²? It can take a toll³ on your heart. While everyone feels this way some of the time, how you handle these emotions can affect your heart health. "Those likely to internalize stress are in greater danger; research has shown a benefit to laughter and social support," Dr. Reynolds says.

你是否感到压力大、有敌意或是沮丧？这些都对你的心脏有害。虽然所有人都会偶尔经历这些，但你处理这些情绪的方式能够极大地影响到你的心脏健康。"常把情绪压在心里的人很危险，研究表明大笑或是社交活动有利于健康。"Reynolds医生说。

2.Not flossing

2.牙齿不清洁

While the exact reason is unknown, there is a strong link between gum disease and heart disease, Dr. Ostfeld says. If you don't floss, sticky, bacteria-laden plaque⁴ build up over time, which can lead to gum disease. One theory is that these bacteria trigger inflammation in the body.

Ostfeld医生说，虽然确切的关联尚不清楚，但牙齿疾病与心脏病的确有着强烈的关联。如果你不清洁牙齿，时间长了，那些黏糊糊充满细菌的牙垢就会积累起来，造成牙龈疾病。有一种理论认为这些细菌会引发机体炎症。

3.Avoiding fruits and vegetables

3.不吃水果和蔬菜

"The most heart-healthy diet is a plant-based diet," Dr. Ostfeld says. That means loading up on fruits and vegetables, nuts, whole grains, low-fat dairy, and protein, and keeping junk food to a minimum. In fact, new federal dietary guidelines recommend that half of each meal should be composed of fruits and vegetables.

对心脏最有好处的食物大多是植物，"Ostfeld医生说。这意味着要多吃水果和蔬菜，坚果，全麦食品，低脂牛奶和蛋白质，别吃垃圾食品。事实上，最新的联邦饮食建议每顿饭应该至少有一半是水果和蔬菜。
