Strong heart V/S healthy heart.
A strong heart is one thing
A healthy heart is another
This year (as every year) marathon runners will drop dead
Top athletes will die young
Those dedicated to a healthy regime will find that much (not all) is a waste of time.
As with everything, moderation is a key factor.
A strong heart can be cultivated by excercise of pushing your muscles to the limit. It is not wise to push yourself to your limits.
A healthy heart can be cultivated by avoiding stress.
If you find your work, social situation, relationships, or life in general, stressful, then you should take steps to avoid such situations.
Do not relieve stress by dulling it.
It is better to eat when hungry, and not eat when not hungry. Don't eat because the clock tells you to.
It is better to have your last meal of the day in early evening rather than late evening, and even better to have several small meals instead of one large one.
Sleep when you are tired.
Never put off sleeping if possible.
Learn to sleep for very short periods. You can do so it for a few minutes, and even seconds. You can get through stressful periods by taking short naps.
