Avoid Heart Attacks

Simple Ways to Avoid a Heart Attack

Although this is not medical advice – see your doctor for that – the American Heart Association suggests these simple steps to avoid a heart attack:

• Watch your blood sugar numbers and keep them in normal range
• Watch your blood pressure and keep it in normal range
• Lose weight if you weigh too much
• Don’t smoke
• Eat a healthy diet (not chips and soda)
• Watch your cholesterol numbers and keep them in a normal range
• Exercise regularly (a brisk walk will help and it’s free)
