The 30-second test that reveals how healthy your heart is

Keeping your heart in good health is vital, but it can be difficult to understand what's going on inside it.

To help you get an idea of ​​how this organ is working for you, Bright Side has revealed a simple trick to show you how to check your heart health - and it only takes 30 seconds.

First, you need to find a bowl or basin that is large enough to fully submerge both of your hands and fill it with really cold water, adding a few handfuls of ice cubes to improve the results.

Put both hands completely under water for exactly 30 seconds – don't be tempted to skip or shorten the time as it will help you know how your body reacts when forced to deal with the cold.

Bright Side says there are two possible outcomes when you look at your hands after removing them from the water when time is up.

1. If the fingers are pale, you have problems with blood circulation in the body and the level of oxygen in the blood is low.

2. If the fingers are red, this is a good sign because it shows that the heart and blood circulation are healthy.

Because blood carries oxygen and nutrients to all other parts of the body, a poorly functioning circulatory system can cause many health problems, even heart problems.

How to improve circulation?

The first thing you can do to improve circulation is to change your lifestyle. Try to replace bad life habits with healthy ones. Give up alcohol, coffee, smoking, foods rich in sugars and bad fats.

Losing weight, if you are obese, can help improve circulation. Regular and moderate physical activity as well. Good cholesterol (HDL) is known for protecting the walls of blood vessels.

Another factor that leads to poor circulation, especially in the legs, is the prolonged sitting that is characteristic of modern jobs. Try to get up as often as possible.
