According to the CDC, "adults ages 35 to 64" are a high risk demographic. They have made some simple suggestions to get more involved in care for your heart.
- Be more active!
- Make healthy eating decisions.
- If you are a smoker, quit!
- Keep track of your blood pressure and cholesterol.
- If you have doctor prescribed medications, take them as directed.
