What You Can Do to Reduce Your Risk of Heart Attack

  • Quit smoking
  • Follow a low fat, low cholesterol, low salt diet
  • Exercise regularly. Walking briskly 3-4 times per week for 30 minutes has shown great results in losing weights. Many started walking as a exercise regimen then increased to a cardiovascular fitness exercise once weight has decreased. Always seek the advice of a doctor before starting an exercise regimen.
  • Manage Stress
  • Stay informed about Acute Coronary Syndrome
