Heart disease is the
leading cause of death for both men and women. To
prevent heart disease and increase awareness, “Trax
News” is proudly participating in Heart Month.
Many of us are affected
by heart disease, high blood pressure, and excessive
body weight. These conditions seem to be byproducts
of lifestyles that seem harmless at first, but
silently and steadily destroy our health and shorten
our lives.
You may consider
healthy changes to lower the risk of developing
heart disease during Heart Month, but until you
transform thoughts into action, your risk will
slowly increase.
OK, here’s the bottom
line to lower your risk of heart disease:
|
► |
Watch your
weight
(You are
what you eat and don’t eat)
|
|
► |
Quit smoking
(You
already know this … time to act!)
|
|
► |
Control cholesterol & blood pressure
(All of the above and below) |
|
► |
Drink alcohol
only in moderation
(Alcohol is
a self-prescribed drug)
|
|
► |
Get
active and eat healthy
(Exercise daily, eat fruits &
vegetables) |
