Heart Disease Prevention Tips
Women can lower their risk of having a heart disease by doing the following things: committing to a heart healthy diet, exercising daily (at least 30 min/day), watching their weight, quitting smoking, knowing their numbers, and managing stress.
Ann DeVelasco, Registered Nurse with Miami Cardiac and Vascular Institute, explains a heart-healthy diet is low in trans-fat and saturated fat, it is grains, fruits, vegetables, and little red meat. She recommends avoiding whole milk, and fatty meats.
