Heart disease remains the leading cause of death, but much of the risk is influenced by everyday choices. Small, consistent habits add up over years.

Move most days

Aim for about 150 minutes of moderate activity a week. Walking counts. Regular movement improves blood pressure, cholesterol, and how your body handles blood sugar.

Eat for your heart

Diets rich in vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats, and lean protein consistently support cardiovascular health. Cutting back on ultra-processed foods and excess sodium helps too.

Know your numbers

Blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar can drift out of range without symptoms. Regular checks catch problems early, while they are easiest to address.
