Many people are at high risk for these diseases and don’t know it. The good news is that many risk factors for heart disease and stroke can be prevented or controlled.
The federal government’sMillion Hearts®initiative aimed to prevent 1 million heart attacks and strokes by 2017. It’s important to know your risk for heart disease and stroke and to take action to reduce that risk. A good place to start is with the ABCS of heart health:
- Aspirin: Aspirin may help reduce your risk for heart disease and stroke. But do not take aspirin if you think you are having a stroke. It can make some types of stroke worse. Before taking aspirin, talk to your doctor about whether aspirin is right for you.
- Blood pressure: Control your blood pressure.
- Cholesterol: Manage your cholesterol.
- Smoking: Quit smoking, or don’t start.
In addition to your ABCS, several lifestyle choices can help protect your heart and brain health. These include the following:
- Avoid breathing secondhand smoke.
- Eat low-fat, low-salt foods most of the time and fresh fruits and vegetables.
- Maintain a healthy weight.
- Exercise regularly.
- Limit alcohol use.
- Get other health conditions (such as diabetes) under control.
