How can I change my lifestyle to prevent cardiovascular disease?

A heart-healthy diet includes a variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, low-fat or nonfat dairy products, fish, legumes, sources of protein low in saturated fat, and unsaturated fats such as those found in fish, most plants, oils, nuts, and seeds. Vegetarian and vegan diets can also be heart-healthy. The Mediterranean diet is recommended for women who have heart disease.

Becoming physically active is recommended to promote health, psychological well-being, and a healthy weight. To reduce the risk of chronic disease, engage in at least thirty minutes of moderate intensity physical activity on most days of the week. People who don't exercise regularly are 4.3 times more likely to have a stroke than people who engage in frequent vigorous exercise.

Some people may need to consult a health care provider before participating in this level of activity. Flexibility and resistance exercises such as stretches and weights are recommended. If you smoke, quitting is probably the most important behavioral change you can make.

Avoiding secondhand smoke is advisable for everyone.
