First start with exercising regularly, every day if possible. You should not only do cardio exercise but also strength improving exercises. All studies, including the famous Framingham study have shown that exercising regularly can improve your heart health and body health status. This means that there is less chance of developing a heart attack. You live longer and live with better energy and vitality. Regular exercise should be at least 20 to 30 minutes of vigorous exercise done at least three or more times a week. You’ll feel more alive, and you’ll be able to do more too.
Next, you should eat a good well balanced nutritious diet with emphasis on more fruits and vegetables and less meat. This type of diet is considered cardio protective, i.e. it helps protect your heart from developing problems. A diet high in fiber is also important, as is ingesting healthier oils such as omegas 3 fatty acids. Fish oils and olive oil have high concentrations of these omega 3 oils. Avoid high saturated fat foods. If you must have oils, use liquid vegetable oils and less solid fats such at butter. Embracing a Mediterranean style diet can also increase the health of your heart significantly.
If you are overweight, and especially if you are obese, the message is very clear: LOSE THE EXTRA WEIGHT. This is extremely important. You can reduce your risks of developing heart problems, cancers, diabetes, orthopedic disorders and multiple other debilitating problems almost by a third simply by losing the extra weight and maintaining a normal weight.
