5 Ways to Prevent Heart Disease

To prevent heart disease, you can:

  • Eat a healthy diet: Eat more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean meats and fish. Limit foods high in saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol, and sodium. 

  • Exercise regularly: Try to get 150 minutes a week of moderate aerobic exercise, like walking briskly, or 75 minutes a week of vigorous aerobic exercise, like running. 

  • Maintain a healthy weight: Calculate your Body Mass Index (BMI). 

  • Don't smoke: Smoking increases your risk of heart attack and stroke. 

  • Manage stress: Stress can raise your blood pressure and trigger a heart attack.
