However, he also had a stark remind for people who rely on one harmful vice, adding: “Don’t smoke, your heart hates that.”
Quitting for good also enhances physical well-being and reduces the risk of smoking-related diseases such as canc3rs, lung disease, heart conditions and stokes – and can even improve mental health.
In one video, he talks about the importance of making ‘relaxation’ a priority for heart health, with scheduled down-time breaks away from the stress of everyday life.
Dr Hilary said: “Life can be pretty stressful, can’t it.
“Constant, relentless, exhausting – but too much stress is bad for our heart.”
He suggests followers to ‘do what I do’ by putting time aside “just for yourself in your diary and chill out a bit”.
The Dr concluded: “Your heart will love you for it.”
In another, he advised ‘millions’ of people are walking around ‘right now’ with high blood pressure and don’t even know it.
While sporting a blood pressure monitor on himself, he continued: “They’re at risk of something they really don’t want, like str0ke or heart atta:ck, so get yours checked out soon.”
