heart attack



Major cause of women’s death in the US is Heart disease than Breast Cancer, as is the assumption of most of the American females.



You can prevent the cardiac problem by keeping few things in mind. They are:



1. Don’t smoke or if you already do smoke, quit as it may lead to hypertension or high blood pressure.

2. Exercise at least thirty minutes a day.

3. Eat a healthy diet and maintain a healthy weight- healthy diet is one that includes plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables, lean meats, whole grains, and dairy. This is an essential part of heart disease prevention, as well as overall good health.

4. Use alcohol only in moderation- women should limit themselves to one alcoholic beverage per day. Of course, not drinking alcohol at all is even better.



Following the four steps outlined above will reduce your risk of heart disease substantially. Another benefit of following these heart disease prevention steps is that you’ll also be preventing or reducing your risk of obesity, stroke, high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure, and many types of cancer.
