You can help prevent heart disease and cardiovascular problems by first, stop stressing and relax. Once you begin to do this your blood pressure will go down. You also have to eat properly and be active. If you are not active you put yourself at risk. You have control over this, so start controlling it.

Watch your weight and be mindful of not only what you eat but how much. Being overweight or obese tends to increase the risk for heart disease, not to mention many other serious medical conditions. Making healthy food and beverage choices is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables. Choose foods in "nature's own wrapper" and avoid foods high in saturated fat (animal fats) and cholesterol. Avoid trans fats entirely. A high-fiber diet will help you manage your weight. Salt (sodium) often worsens high blood pressure, so limit your salt intake to about three grams (3000 mg) daily. Avoid simple sugars like those found in soda, candy and desserts.

Keep your blood pressure down by working out. Working out will help you lose weight and get to a healthy weight that won't produce problems such as heart disease.

Sleeping is a key part to staying healthy and energized. By sleeping seven or more hours a day as recommended you will function better on daily basis. You should also remember to work out for roughly thirty minutes. This keeps your body fit and keeps you away from getting heart disease.

Get regular physical checkups and talk with your doctor about your personal risk for heart disease.
