To prove the collected data in a study published on ‘ European Journal of Preventive Cardiology by a group of Dutch scholars of the Institute for Public Health and the Environment in Bilthoven and Wageningen University, who for ten years have monitored the lifestyle and health of 14,000 more men and women.

Into The researchers studied how they could affect the health of the heart and arteries virtuous behavior as perform exercise, eating a healthy diet, consume little alcohol and smoking , noting that the study participants who followed all four virtuous behavior were running a 57% lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease and a 67% lower risk of dying from stroke or other heart disease. Adding to these factors, healthy lifestyle also a constant night’s sleep at least 7 hours of sleep per night , the researchers calculated that the beneficial effects on the heart and arteries were amplified and the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and dying from these same diseases is lowered further, dropped respectively from 57% to 65% and from 67% to 83%.

A good night’s sleep could therefore be added to the four recommendations “save-heart” already known : “If all participants had compli ed with all five healthy lifestyle factors, 36% of cardiovascular disease and 57% of fatal cardiovascular disease could theoretically be prevented or postponed – the researchers conclude -. The public health impact of a good night’s sleep in addition to the traditional factors of healthy lifestyle could therefore be substantial for maintaining cardiovascular health. “
