5 Ways to Keep your
Heart Healthy
Get the healthiest heart
by incorporating these
daily habits into your
lifestyle:
Stay away from
second-hand smoke
at all times.

exposed to second-hand smoke is about a third

Stay away from second-hand smoke at all times.

deaths yearly and 34,000 premature
deaths due to heart disease caused by
second-hand smoke.
Don’t sit down
too long, ever.
No matter how much exercise
you do, sitting down too long
is bad for your health. This is
suggested by research done in
recent years.
Don’t sit down too long, ever.

when you sit down too long,
there is a related 147%
increase in cardiovascular
events and a 90% increase in
death caused by
cardiovascular events.
Sleep right.
Sleep is essential.
Those who lack sleep get a higher
cardiovascular disease risk
regardless of health habits or age.
Sleep right.

adults ages forty-five or older found that
people who slept less than six nightly hours
were double as likely to have a heart attack
as those that slept 6-8 hours each night.

teeth each day.
One great indication of overall
health is how healthy your teeth
are. Those that have gum or
periodontal disease have the same
heart disease risk factors.
Don’t eat trans fat.

including unsaturated,
polyunsaturated and saturated
fats. Trans fat, however, is another
story.

having a stroke or developing
heart disease.
