Risk Factors
First off, it’s important to identify the most common risk factors:
- High blood pressure
- Obesity
- High cholesterol
- Diabetes
- Smoking
- Sedentary lifestyle
Age and family history also play a role, but you can’t really do anything about those.
Once you look at the risk factors that apply to you, it’s easier to see how you can make changes to your lifestyle.
Establish a Heart Healthy Diet
If you want to prevent heart disease, a heart-healthy diet is critical. This means eating plenty of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, as well as lean proteins (like chicken and turkey). You should also limit saturated and trans fat, which can often lead to artery blockage.
A few things you can include in your diet are avocados, nuts, and olive oil as these are all considered “healthy fats.”

A Few Tips to Help with Being Heart Healthy
A few lifestyle changes can go a long way to prevent heart disease.
- Become more active and focus on activities that improve circulation and help you to maintain a healthy body weight.

- Avoid unhealthy “coping” mechanisms such as smoking and excessive alcohol intake.
