5 Tips That Promote Heart Health
Preventing Heart Disease
1) Quit Smoking: Because cigarette smoking is so prevalent and destructive, it has been identified by the Surgeon General as the single most preventable cause of disease and premature death in the nation.
2) Watch Your Waistline: The risks to heart health that are associated with obesity include heart attacks, heart failure, CVD, and CHD, along with a whole host of other negative health effects.
3) Keep Moving: As little as a half-hour of exercise daily can protect your heart. Aerobic activities such as walking, running and swimming work the heart and help keep it robust.
4) Watch Your Cholesterol: The toxins in to***co smoke lower a person's high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL or "good" cholesterol) while raising levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL or "bad" cholesterol).
5) Maintain Normal Blood Pressure: While at the doctor’s office getting your cholesterol checked, have your blood pressure checked also. Maintaining a healthy blood pressure reduces the risk of heart attack, stroke and heart failure.
