1. Regular Physical Activity: Engage in regular aerobic exercises like walking, jogging, swimming, or cycling to keep your heart strong and improve cardiovascular fitness. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise per week. Regular physical activity can help lower blood pressure, reduce bad cholesterol (LDL),increase good cholesterol (HDL), manage weight, and enhance overall heart health.

2. Heart-Healthy Diet: Adopting a balanced and heart-friendly diet is essential for preventing heart disease. Focus on a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins (like fish and poultry), and healthy fats (found in olive oil, avocados, nuts, and seeds). Limit your intake of processed foods, sugary beverages, trans fats, and excessive salt. Reducing sodium intake can help lower blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart disease.

3. Manage Stress and Sleep: Chronic stress can negatively impact heart health. Find ways to manage stress through activities like yoga, meditation, deep breathing exercises, or hobbies you enjoy. Also, ensure you get adequate sleep each night, as poor sleep patterns have been linked to an increased risk of heart disease. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night to support heart health.

Remember, it's essential to consult your healthcare provider before making any significant changes to your lifestyle or diet, especially if you have pre-existing health conditions or concerns. They can offer personalized advice and guidance tailored to your specific needs.
