Maintaining good heart health begins with understanding what a healthy lifestyle is. That should start in childhood. It begins with emulating your parents, so as an adult, you have a responsibility to your kids and grandkids to set a good example of eating a healthy diet, being active and not being overweight.

It’s also important to identify risk factors for heart disease. These should all be addressed as part of a general physical. Risk factors include:

• high blood pressure
• high cholesterol
• smoking
• diabetes
• obesity
• an unhealthy diet
• lack of exercise
• family history of heart disease

Lifestyle changes can help reduce your risk factors for heart disease.
