Taking Control of Heart Health

Heart disease remains the No. 1 killer of women in the United States, claiming more than 500,000 lives each year. Studies have shown that you can make changes to help lower your risk of developing heart disease.

• Lower you blood pressure – even slightly elevated blood pressure levels can double your risk for coronary heart disease, and the higher the pressure, the higher the risk. More than half of all women over 55 have high blood pressure. The condition is even more common and more severe in African-American women

• Stop smoking – women who smoke are two to six times as likely to suffer a heart stack as nonsmoking women, and the risk increases with the number of cigarettes smoked per day. Also, smokers who have a heart attack are more likely to die, and die suddenly, than are nonsmokers.
• Lose weight – overweight women are much more likely to develop heart-related problems, even if they have no other risk factors. Excess body weight in women is linked with coronary heart disease, stroke, congestive heart failure and death from heart-related causes. The more overweight you are, the higher your risk for heart disease.

• Increase physical activity – as little as 30 minutes of moderate activity on most, and preferably all days of the week, helps protect the heart. Examples of moderate activity are brisk walking or bicycling, raking leaves and gardening. Vigorous exercise includes running, jogging, swimming laps and cross – country skiing.
