Heart health from the perspective of a man’s belly

　　1. Pay more attention to your belly button

　　"Even if you're slim, having fat around your belly is closely related to your risk of heart disease," Goldberg said. ”So measure your waist often. Ideally, your waist should be under 35 inches (approximately 88.9 cm). To manage your waistline, do aerobic exercise every day and eat less simple carbohydrates, such as pastries and white bread, which tend to increase belly fat.

　　2. Write down these numbers

　　"If you're over 35 and don't know your blood pressure and cholesterol levels, see your doctor," Goldberg said. ”This information can be used to assess your chances of developing heart disease.

　　3. Don’t go barefoot

　　When you go barefoot or wear shoes without arch support or mechanical control (like flip-flops), the plantar fascia—the connective tissue on the bottom of the foot that corresponds to the heel—can become overworked, causing heel pain.
