Did you know that up to 80% of premature cardiovascular disease is preventable with a healthy lifestyle? Yet, heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death in men. Here are my top lifestyle recommendations to prevent heart disease: (1) eat a plant based diet including fruits, veggies, fiber, beans/lentils, nuts/seeds, and whole grains. Keep sugar to a minimum. Check out the heart healthy mediterranean diet (2) quit smoking (3) get up and move every 30 mins (4) limit your alcohol (5) learn to manage your stress with meditation or yoga (6) get regular health screens to check your blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar.
