Trying to prevent heart disease is pretty simple except for non-modifiable risk factors. Non-modifiable risk factors are the ones you can't control, like genetics. On the other hand your choices can influence your heart health. Through lifestyle changes like not smoking, not drinking, healthy eating, exercise, and managing diabetes, blood pressure and stress, you can greatly reduce your chance of heart disease. You need to try to be as active as possible like jogging on the weekend or riding your bike instead of driving. You also need to eat healthy. You should drink at least 8 cups of water a day and eat the right amount of proteins along with the right amount of vegetables.
