Practical Steps for Heart Health

Prevention is a major part of what we do. Our medical team recommends several lifestyle changes that can significantly reduce the risk of heart complications.

Improving Your Diet:

• Focus on a diet that includes plenty of vegetables, fruits, fiber, and whole grains.

• Try to eat fish at least twice a week.

• Lower your intake of salt, saturated fats, and trans fats.

• Choose low-fat or fat-free dairy products.

• Avoid foods made with partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.

The Importance of Quitting Smoking: Quitting smoking is perhaps the most important thing you can do for your heart. Smoking causes a buildup of fatty plaque in your arteries, which leads to hardening (atherosclerosis). This puts immense stress on your heart and increases the risk of stroke or heart attack. Our team is here to support patients in making this vital health change.
