Eat healthily
A healthy diet can help reduce your risk of developing coronary
heart disease and stop you gaining weight.
Stay active
Being active provides long term benefits for your heart health
and general health. And if you are inactive, you are more likely to
have a heart attack than someone who is active.
Quit smoking
Smoking is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease, and
smokers are almost twice as likely to have a heart attack compared
with people who have never smoked.
Stick to your limits
Drinking too much alcohol is one of the most common causes of
hospital admission in the UK. Drinking more than the recommended
limits can also have a harmful effect on the heart.
