Heart disease doesn't have to be your fate. By understanding risk factors and making smart lifestyle choices, you can significantly reduce your chances of developing cardiovascular problems.
Know Your Risk Factors
Some factors like age and family history can't be changed, but many can: high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, diabetes, obesity, and physical inactivity.
Heart-Healthy Lifestyle Choices
Eat a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Exercise regularly, maintain a healthy weight, don't smoke, limit alcohol, and manage stress.
The Role of Regular Checkups
Regular visits to your healthcare provider help monitor blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar—all important markers for heart health. Early intervention makes a difference.
