Caring for Your Heart

Heart Disease Prevention

Heart Disease is the number one killer in the United States, causing more deaths than all forms of cancer combined.  It affects more than five million Americans each and every year.

Despite the statistics, there are things you can do to help prevent heart disease.  Controlling risk factors like high blood pressure and cholesterol, diabetes and smoking can greatly reduce the likelihood of developing heart disease. It is also important to know the warning signs of heart disease.

Experts advise a heart healthy lifestyle which is based on eating foods low in fat and cholesterol and high in fiber; and establishing a regular exercise regime.
