- Stop Smoking.
- Cut down on salt.
- Watch your diet.
- Monitor your alcohol.
- Get active.
- Manage your weight.
- Get your blood pressure and cholesterol levels checked by your doctor.
- Learn to manage your stress levels.
- Check your family history.
- Make sure you know the signs of coronary heart disease.
