Lifestyle Changes Can Help Prevent a Heart Attack<\/h3>\n

Heart disease is the #1 cause of death in the United States. Stroke is the #5 cause of death in the United States.<\/p>\n

One of the biggest contributors to these statistics is a lack of commitment to a heart healthy lifestyle. Your lifestyle is not only your best defense against heart disease and stroke, it’s also your responsibility. A heart-healthy lifestyle includes the ideas listed below. By following these simple steps you can reduce all of the modifiable risk factors for heart disease, heart attack and stroke.<\/p>\n

Prevention and Treatment of Heart Attacks<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

The time to reduce your risks for heart disease is always NOW!<\/span><\/strong>
\nThe American Heart Association recommends that heart disease prevention begins early in life. This means assessing your risk factors and working to keep them low. For those over 40, or those with multiple risk factors, it’s important to calculate the risk of developing cardiovascular disease in the next 10 years. Many first-ever heart attacks or strokes are fatal or disabling, so prevention is critical. The sooner you begin comprehensive risk reduction, the longer and stronger your heart will beat.
\nSome simple steps you can take today to help reduce your risk for heart disease or heart attack include:<\/p>\n

\n
• Choosing healthy eating habits everyday<\/li>\n
• Including some physical activity in your daily life<\/li>\n
• Doing your best to manage your stress levels<\/li>\n
• Knowing and maintaining your blood pressure + cholesterol levels within healthy ranges<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
