Lifestyle And Heart Disease

Ann DeVelasco, Registered Nurse with Miami Cardiac and Vascular Institute, says changing our behaviors especially as we get older is not easy. "Once you've had a heart attack you become like a zealot, you want to do everything right away, but it is about behavior. Some people start going to the gym on Monday, and by Wednesday they're going less, and by Friday they don't go anymore." She also explains about 150 minutes of exercise a week is good, and that would be good to keep you heart healthy.
