Heart Disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Its victims are women and men, and people of all backgrounds and ethnicities, in all regions of the country. Although heart disease is the nation's most costly and widespread health problem, it is among the most preventable.
Lifestyle Changes are the Best Defense Against Heart Disease
Although there are a few factors that can't be controlled, including age, gender and family history, you can prevent and control heart disease factors such as high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol and obesity.
According to the National Institute of Health, the best way to reduce your chances of getting heart disease is by changing your key risk factors in your lifestyle. Medication obviously play a key role in preventing and treating heart disease, but a wealth of research has shown the surprising success that simple lifestyle changes can make in helping along that effort. Some of these include: following a healthy diet, exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, managing stress and quitting smoking.
