How to Prevent Heart Disease

1) Make the effort to quit smoking. If you do not smoke now, don’t start. Find an appropriate method for quitting smoking that works for you. Some people prefer to wean themselves off cigarettes by cutting back on the amount smoked each day. Others find better results when they quit cold turkey and abruptly give up all cigarettes at once.


2) 

Eliminate exposure to all tobacco products, including chewing tobacco. Stay away from smokeless tobacco. It contains nicotine, which narrows your blood vessels, forcing your heart to work harder. This leads to an increase in blood pressure and elevates your heart rate, which increases your risk of heart disease.

3) 

1. 
   Speak with your doctor about medications and other smoking cessation aids that he can prescribe to help you break your smoking habit. Inquire about local support groups in your area for individuals who are trying to quit smoking.
