The best prevention against heart disease and stroke is to understand the risks and treatment options. The greatest risk is ignorance or misinformation. The first step is to take responsibility for your health.

Smoking

Every cigarette you smoke makes you more likely to get heart disease. Roughly 1 out of 5 deaths from heart disease is directly related to smoking. People who smoke are two to four times more likely to get heart disease. The risk is even greater for women who smoke and also take birth control pills. Cigarette smoke is also bad for the people around you. Second-hand smoke can cause heart disease and lung cancer in people who don't smoke.

Exercise

Regular exercise, especially aerobic exercise, is one of the best things you can do for yourself. It helps cut your chances of getting heart disease. It's good for your blood pressure, cholesterol, weight, energy level and mood too.

Healthy diet

Although you might know that eating certain foods can increase your heart disease risk, it's often tough to change your eating habits. You can control your portion size, eat more vegetables and fruits,  limit unhealthy fats

Normal body mass index

BMI is an indicator of the amount of body fat for most people. It is used as a screening tool to identify whether an adult is at a healthy weight. A BMI between 18.5 and 25 kg/m² indicates a normal weight. A BMI of less than 18.5 kg/m² is considered underweight. A BMI between 25 kg/m² and 29.9 kg/m² is considered overweight. A BMI of 30 kg/m² or higher is considered obese. Excess weight increases the heart's work.
