Risk Factors

Is there an association between risk factors and a healthy heart?

In Listen To Your Heart: Women and Heart Disease – Tips for Living A Heart-Healthy Lifestyle the (United States) National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) elaborate on:

“There are many things you can do to protect your heart! Start by learning important heart health terms, numbers you should know, and questions to ask your healthcare provider. Living a heart-healthy lifestyle can protect your heart at any age. Take one goal, or risk factor, at a time then address it by taking small steps. Involve friends and family to make your new activities more enjoyable. The bonus —you get to be accountable to someone who cares about you!”2

Know Your Numbers

What numbers do I need to know for a healthy heart?

In Know Your Numbers. It Could Just Save Your Life Go Red for Women elaborate on:

“It is vital for all women to understand their personal risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Knowing your risk starts with knowing four important health numbers — total cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, and body mass index. Having these numbers in check and at healthy levels can reduce your risk for heart disease and stroke.

Talk to your health care provider today about your numbers, what they mean, and how you can manage them. Your heart and well-being depend on it”.3

Prevention

How can heart disease be prevented?

In Keep Your Heart Healthy: The Basics – Overview the (United States) MyHealthfinder explain:

“To help prevent heart disease, you can:

  • Eat a heart-healthy diet
  • Get active
  • Stay at a healthy weight
  • Quit smoking and stay away from secondhand smoke
  • Control your cholesterol, blood glucose (sugar), and blood pressure
  • Drink alcohol only in moderation
  • Manage stress
  • Get enough sleep”.4

Health Care Provider

What if I would like help with a healthy heart?

If you would like help with a healthy heart, it may be in your best interest to choose to talk to your health care provider about this. Together you can discuss your options and if required, agree on who may be the most appropriate health care provider to help you.
