Cardiovascular Health & Fitness
Healthy Hearts Through Exercise, Diet, and Knowledge
Heart disease is the number one killer of both men and women in the United States. The best way to a healthy heart and cardiovascular system is a healthy lifestyle. Choices you make each day have a big impact on the health of you and your heart. Keep your heart healthy by making the right choices about:
- Whether you smoke
- What you eat
- Your physical activity level
- How much alcohol you drink
Smoking
People who smoke are two to three times more likely to die from coronary heart disease than people who do not smoke.
If you don't smoke now, don't start! If you do smoke, the good news is that your heart begins to benefit soon after you stop smoking.
You may need outside support for the tough task of quitting smoking. Lots of resources exist in your community and on the internet.
Diet, Fitness, and a Healthy Weight
Eating the right foods, exercising and maintaining a healthy weight are very important in the fight against heart disease. Your first step is to learn about a heart healthy diet and physical activity goals. By making these healthy changes each day, you are on the right track to a healthy weight. A healthy weight is good for your heart in many ways - you are less likely to develop heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and elevated blood lipids.
