Prevention

A healthy diet and lifestyle are your best weapons against heart disease, along with periodic screenings and regular check-ups with your physician. Learn how many calories you should eat each day for your individual level of activity and body type, and then find ways to stay within your limits. At least 30 minutes of moderate exercise a day, five times a week is an easy goal to remember and is recommended for heart health.
