Healthy eating, exercise, quitting smoking and managing stress are the key lifestyle changes to combat heart disease. They can all have a profound impact on combating heart disease. Making all of these a priority may seem overwhelming. But every small positive step you take can help improve your health.
Following a healthy diet — what does that mean?
To lower your risk of heart disease and heart attack, you and your family should follow a diet that is:
- Low in saturated and trans fats. Saturated fats are found in some meats, dairy products, chocolate, baked goods, and deep-fried and processed foods. Trans fats can be found in fried and processed foods. Both types of fat raise your low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or “bad,” cholesterol level
- High in omega-3 fatty acids. Found in fish, nut oils such as olive oil and some seafood and plants, omega-3 fatty acids lower your risk of heart attack, in part by helping prevent blood clots.
- High in fiber. Fiber is found in whole grains, fruits and vegetables. A fiber-rich diet not only helps lower your LDL cholesterol level, but also provides nutrients that may help protect against heart disease.
- Low in salt and sugar. A low-salt diet can help you manage your blood pressure. A low-sugar diet can help you prevent weight gain and control diabetes and pre-diabetes.
Losing 5 to 10% of your current weight can lower your risk of heart disease. Come back tomorrow to learn more about how to combat heart diseases and stay healthy. Here are some tips to strengthen your heart > https://empress2inspire.blog/2020/04/01/tips-to-strengthen-your-heart/

My family cooks a lot in olive oil. Our milk tends to be 2% milk. We (I believe) tries to balance out the different meats. My favorite salmon meal is salmon, cocouses, and barceli. My favorite pasta meal is actually olive oil and basil- at the same time, one of my favorite pastas is shrimp scrampi

Yes, I know. I even got my neurologist stumpted. It appears as if my epilepsy is deep-brian meaning it is extremely difficult to detect.

I am so glad to know that you are taking care of yourself Cole. Sometimes you need a little bit of inspiration. Your body is a temple, but only if you treat it as one. A man too busy to take care of his health is like a mechanic too busy to take care.
