How can Heart Disease be prevented?
The best way to prevent heart disease is to have a healthy lifestyle. While medication may sometimes be necessary, small changes to your daily habits are the most likely to have a strong and lasting effect. These changes include: • Access to health care: Make sure that you obtain routine health care and have a good relationship with your medical provider so that you can identify problems early and seek appropriate treatment. • Smoking is a large risk factor; by quitting, you can lower your risk for heart disease by half. • Lowering your blood pressure can be accomplished by limiting your salt intake, maintaining a health body weight and drinking alcoholic beverages in moderation. • You can lower your cholesterol by following a heart-healthy eating plan, remaining physically active, maintaining a healthy weight and, if necessary, taking medication. • Concentrate on becoming physically fit. This will result in losing weight if needed as well as cause you to maintain a healthier lifestyle
