Are you paying attention to your health risk?
Reducing your risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) is essential in preventing heart attacks and strokes. Regular exercise and dietary changes can significantly lower your risk of premature death.
Research consistently supports the benefits of increasing vegetable and fiber intake while reducing saturated fats and processed foods. Diets rich in fiber, vegetables, fish, nuts, and olive oil are most often recommended for heart health.
