If you or a loved one is experiencing chest pain, especially if associated with any other of the signs above, call 911 right away. Acting quickly can save your life.<\/p>\n<p>Know your risk factors. A number of conditions, including hypertension (high blood pressure), high cholesterol and diabetes, increase the risk of heart disease. And it is a myth that heart disease is primarily a men&#8217;s health problem: heart disease is the leading cause of death for women, above breast and other cancers.<\/p>\n<p>A healthy lifestyle can cut the risk of heart attack. Here are the steps to take:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you smoke, quit.<\/li>\n<li>Take steps to lower blood pressure and cholesterol level.<\/li>\n<li>Increase physical activity.<\/li>\n<li>Maintain a healthy weight.<\/li>\n<li>If you are diabetic, follow your care plan.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Lowering your cholesterol level through diet and lifestyle changes (and in some cases, medication) can also cut the risk. Select low-fat, low-cholesterol, low-sodium foods. Avoid fried foods, instead selecting baked or broiled. Skip dessert, and order your salad with low-fat dressing.<\/p>\n<p>Learn more about heart health from the Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/heartdisease\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">www.cdc.gov\/heartdisease<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><em>SOURCE: Assisting Hands Home Care in association with IlluminAge.
