How To Prevent Heart Disease

 Preventing heart disease (and all heart disease) means making wise decisions now that will pay off for the rest of your life.

Lack of exercise, poor diet, and other unhealthy habits can be dangerous in recent years. Anyone in any age can benefit from simple steps to keep his heart healthy within ten years of life. Here is:

Manage Depression and Anger

Manage Depression and Anger

Everyone is stressed, and it's normal to feel angry from time to time. When stress and anger well up, especially when it happens, that's a problem. Managing your stress and managing your anger in a healthy way puts you back in control.

Improve Cholesterol Levels

Improve Cholesterol Levels

You are more likely to get heart disease if you have:

• Total cholesterol level above 200

• HDL cholesterol level below 40 years

• LDL cholesterol level above 160

• More than 150 Triglycerides

Control High Blood Pressure

Exercise and a healthy diet help control high blood pressure. Some people may need medication to control their blood pressure.

Workout

People who do not exercise are more likely to get a heart attack, and then die from it, than working people. Ask your doctor before starting a new exercise program, especially if you are not currently working out. He can tell you what to do.

Follow a Healthy Heart Diet

Eat foods that are low in fat and cholesterol. Almost everyone should eat fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, legumes and other plant-based foods. Fiber is good for your cholesterol, and you will get vitamins in a natural way from the diet.

Reach a Healthy Weight

Losing weight is good for your heart. It can also help lower your blood pressure and control your diabetes.

Stop Smoking

If you smoke, you are twice as likely to have a heart attack as non-smokers, and you are more likely to die if you have a heart attack.

Stop Smoking

Control Diabetes

Diabetes increases the risk of heart disease. Most people with diabetes do not know it. Get tested and treated.
