World Heart Day is an excellent opportunity to take charge of your health! The fight against our nation’s number one killer – cardiovascular disease – can’t be limited to treatment. It must also include prevention. Regular physical activity, healthy diet, avoiding cigarettes and other tobacco products, maintaining a healthy body weight, and controlling blood pressure, blood cholesterol and blood sugar - we call these Life's Simple 7. You can improve these seven risk factors through easy lifestyle changes to help achieve your ideal cardiovascular health.
