Wise Up While You Still Can

Take it from me folks, you do NOT want to have a heart attack. It sucks while it's happening and it's not a whole lot better afterward. Yet despite being preventable in most cases, heart disease is the leading killer of adults in America. It's almost as if people are trying to get heart attacks! Following are some of the most popular leisure activities of Americans:

1. Ingesting poison: Healthful meals and snacks can help you avoid heart disease and its complications. This means choosing fresh fruits and vegetables and fewer processed foods,
foods low in saturated fats, trans fat, and cholesterol and high in fiber, and limiting sugar and sodium in your diet.

2. Getting and staying fat: Being overweight or obese greatly increases your risk of heart disease, narrows your clothing options and looks downright ugly.

3. Laying around doing nothing: Physical activity can help you maintain a healthy weight and lower your blood pressure, cholesterol, and sugar levels, ultimately saving your life.

 

4. Knowingly destroying essential body parts: Cigarette smoking ruins your lungs, heart, larynx and lots of other things you need, and greatly increases your risk for heart disease.



5. Getting drunk: Drinking too much alcohol can raise your blood pressure, which in turn can lead to heart disease. Men should have no more than two drinks per day, and women only one.
