Steps to a Healthier Heart
Understand your personal risk. Having even one of the following risk factors doubles your chance of developing heart disease. Schedule an appointment today to discuss these risk factors with your doctor:
- High blood pressure and cholesterol
- Diabetes
- Smoking
- Being overweight
- Low level of physical activity
- Family history of early heart disease
- Age 55 or older
Get physical. Exercise two and a half hours each week by doing activities like fast walking, water aerobics, biking on mostly flat terrain or pushing a lawn mower. Whatever you do, go at a moderate intensity—enough to amp up your heart rate and break a sweat.
