Default Healthy Ways To Prevent Heart Disease

Heart disease is the number one killer in the United States today. The disease is preventable in most cases by making just a few small lifestyle changes in what you eat, your daily exercise routines and if you smoke or not.

A few studies have found that you can greatly decrease your chances for heart disease by doing some of the following:

1. Daily exercise. Doing something simple as walking 1 mile a day which should only take about 20 minutes at the most can prevent heart disease.

2. Eating more whole grain foods, fish, unsaturated fats, and avoiding fast food, or extremely greasy foods.

3. Increase your intake of Monosaturated and Polysaturated fats. Monosaturated fats are things like olive oil, canola, peanut oils and some margarine's. Polysaturated fats are your Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. A good source of Omega-3 fatty acids are fish, flax seed, eggs and other Omega-3 fortified products such as milk and yogurt.

By making these 3 simple lifestyle changes you can prevent heart disease or reduce your risk of a heart attack, diabetes and other serious health issues.

I'd like to add something to this thread: everything in moderation! Don't go taking fish oil supplements by the handful! Now, I know no one in their right mind would eat take that many, but even several a day could do more harm than good.

So, I would just like to add to Dave's thread and say everything in moderation.

egetables and fruits are good sources of vitamins and minerals; they are low in calories and rich in dietary fiber. A diet high in soluble fiber, the kind found in fruits and vegetables, can help lower your cholesterol and reduce your risk of heart disease. Vegetables and fruits also contain substances found in plants that may help prevent cardiovascular disease. Eating more fruits and vegetables may help you eat less high-fat foods, such as meat, cheese and snack food.

Daily cardio workouts, omega 3 fish oils, reduce stress, don't smoke, minimize alcohol consumption. That's a good start.

Great Health Forum
