Sex, Garlic and…

… not too much sleep. This seems to be the best you can do for your health according to Heinrich von Borstel, prospective cardiologist and former paramedic, and author of a new book Heart: The Inside Story of Our Body’s Most Important Organ.

“Atherosclerosis is the only disease that everyone in the world has from the age of 50,” says von Borstel. “One hundred per cent of people have it. It is something you cannot completely stop, but you can influence how fast it develops,” says von Borstel. Atherosclerosis - the build up of fatty deposits in the arteries that can lead to heart disease and stroke - starts at the age of 25.

According to his research, exerting yourself between the sheets is one of the most beneficial exercises you can do for your heart. “As well as an entire cardiac workout, before and during intercourse there is a big release of hormones that have a protective effect on our cardiovascular system,” he explains. And recommends ginger, onions and garlic as blood thinners which promote blood flow through vessels and improved blood supply to organ and tissues. Grating a teaspoon of root ginger or two or three teaspoons of grated garlic into a glass of water a day naturally reduces blood pressure.

Getting too much sleep can be as dangerous as getting too little - researchers at the University of West Virginia in 2010 have found that those who regularly sleep for more than nine hours a night have an almost 50 per cent higher risk of suffering a heart attack or other cardiovascular disease. 

“Sleeping too much and too little can be harmful to our health. Seven is the perfect number for most adults.”
