8 Steps to Prevent Heart Disease

Cardiovascular disease is the number 1 killer of Americans. There are steps that you can take today that can decrease your risk of heart disease. The Mayo Clinic discusses eight steps that you can implement today.

1. Control portion sizes
2. Eat more fruits and veggies
3. Choose whole grains
4. Limit unhealthy fats and cholesterol
5. Select low-fat protein sources
6. Limit sodium intake
7. Treat yourself

You may not be able to implement all eight steps at one time, but start with one. Once you have gotten one step down, add more. You will feel better and your heart will thank you. Take your health into your hands.
