Tips for Heart Health
Follow this tips to reduce your chances of getting heart disease.
• Don’t smoke, and if you do, quit. Women who smoke are two to six times more likely to suffer a heart attack than non-smoking women. Smoking also boosts the risk of stroke and cancer.
• Aim for a healthy weight. It’s important for a long, vigorous life. Overweight and obesity cause many preventable deaths.
• Get moving. Make a commitment to be more physically active. Aim for 30 minutes of moderate-intensity activity on most, preferably all, days of the week.
• Eat for heart health. Choose a diet low in saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol, and moderate in total fat.
