Eat more fruits
The phytochemicals and electrolytes in fruits
protect the cells against damage from free
radicals that can cause heart disease. Fiber
content of fruits help to reduce cholesterol.
Fruits like apple, orange, pear, strawberries all
are good. Bananas especially are packed with
potassium which helps to lower blood pressure.
Pomegranate may help reduce the fatty deposits on
artery walls.
Eat more fish
Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, sardine all
have highest levels of omega-3-fattyacids which
help to reduce cardiovascular diseases. Eating
twice a week may help to meet the required
allowance of omega-3-fattyacids.Compared to nuts
fatty fish contain more omega-3-fattyacids.

Reduce Transfat
The consumption of transfat raises the levels of
LDL and reduces the levels of HDL ie., increases
bad cholesterol and decreases good cholesterol.
Transfat from partially hydrogenated oils are
generally considered to be more of a health risk
than those occurring naturally. Foods like fast
foods, snack foods, fried foods and baked foods
are commonly using transfats.
Get adequate sleep
Too little sleep may increase your risk of
developing high blood pressure. Sleep allows the
heart to slow down and blood pressure to drop for
a significant part of the day. People who sleep
for only short durations raise their blood
pressure and heart rate. This may affect the
cardiovascular system. Proper sleep is very
important for healthy heart lifestyle.

Measure your waist
Measuring your waist-to-hip ratio is the best way
to see if you are at risk of heart disease and a
more reliable measurement than BMI or weight. To
work out your waist-to-hip ratio, divide your
waist measurement by that of your hips. For men
the ratio should ideally not be over 0.90 for
women, not over 0.85 .The more above these values
the ratio is, the greater risk of heart disease.
Reduce your stress
Stress is a normal part of life. Managing stress
properly is very important in every ones life.
Stress can lead to emotional, psychological
problems as well as physical problems like heart
diseases. Eating in a balanced way, regular
exercise, avoiding alcohol and smoking, taking
enough rest all will help to reduce stress.
