Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of Americans. We can reduce heart disease by promoting a healthy diet and lifestyle. Getting information from credible sources can help you make smart choices that will benefit your long-term heart health.
For the first time, the American Heart Association has defined what it means to have ideal cardiovascular health, identifying seven health and behavior factors that impact health and quality of life. We know that even simple, small changes can make a big difference in living a better life. Known as “Life’s Simple 7,” these steps can help add years to your life:
don’t smoke; (CHECK)
maintain a healthy weight; (Working on it)
engage in regular physical activity; (Working on it)
eat a healthy diet; (Better than before, but still a work in progress)
manage blood pressure; (CHECK)
take charge of cholesterol; and (CHECK)
keep blood sugar, or glucose, at healthy levels. (CHECK)
The American Heart Association has a new national goal:
By 2020, to improve the cardiovascular health of all Americans by 20 percent while reducing deaths from cardiovascular diseases and stroke by 20 percent.
