Strategies to Live a Heart-Healthy Lifestyle

When you choose healthy behaviors, you can lower your heart disease risk while also preventing other serious chronic conditions like type 2 diabetes and some kinds of cancer.

  1. Learn Your Health History Know your risks and talk to your family and doctor about your health history.
  2. Eat a Healthy Diet Make healthy food choices like more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats, and low-fat dairy products. Eat less salt, saturated fat, and added sugar.

  3. Move More, Sit Less Get at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity every week, plus muscle-strengthening activities at least 2 days a week.

  4. Quit Smoking Call 1-800-QUIT-NOW for free help and take the first step on your journey to quit.

  5. Take Medicines as Directed If you take medicine to treat high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or diabetes, follow your doctor’s instructions carefully. Always ask questions if you don’t understand something. Never stop taking your medicine without talking to your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.

  6. Rethink Your Drink Substitute water for sugary drinks to reduce calories. If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation by limiting consumption to no more than 1 drink a day for women (2 for men) on days that alcohol is consumed.

  7. Monitor Your Blood Pressure at Home Self-measured blood pressure monitors are easy and safe to use, and your doctor can show you how to use one if you need help.
