Lifestyle tips:
Exercise: This is vital as your body is 70% water and stagnant water becomes toxic. It is vital for heart health. If just starting, start slow and low with a gentle walk and work your way up slowly. But move. Aim to work your way up to 30 minutes of moderately intense exercise 5 days a week.
Watch your weight: Excess weight can put pressure on your cholesterol levels, increasing the risk of plaque build-up.
Quit smoking: Smoking clogs your arteries. The minute you quit, your health will start to rebound.
