As the leading cause of death among men and women in the US, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, heart disease is not a subject to take lightly. There are many different risk factors that can lead to heart disease. These include: smoking, lack of physical activity, being overweight or obese, a diet high in fat, genetic predisposition, etc. However, most of these risk factors are lifestyle choices that can be altered and improved. For example, if you feel that you are at risk for heart disease, you should immediately stop smoking. If it is being overweight or making unhealthy diet choices you are concerned with, it is never too late to start an exercise regimen or new diet (after consulting with your physician first of course). The most important thing is to treat your heart with care, and try to live the healthiest life you can live!
