Fruit & veggies

Eat more fruits and vegetables.

People who do have a reduced risk of chronic diseases, including stroke, heart attack, diabetes, and certain cancers.

Getting started

Buy organic milk, eggs, and meat.

Reduce your risk of being exposed to mad cow disease (BSE), and help cut back the destructive use of antibiotics.

Fiber

Avoid trans fats.

Trans fats (and saturated fats too) raise the bad LDL cholesterol in your blood which increases your risk of heart disease.

Who needs to supplement

Everyone should take a multivitamin.

Increasingly, experts conclude a multivitamin pill daily may help fend off heart attacks and various chronic diseases.

More tips

Cut the fat.

Vegetarian diets are remarkably low in saturated fat, which probably explains why vegetarians have a lower incidence of heart disease.

Reasons to workout

Workout reason 2.

Lowers your blood pressure and reduces risk of heart disease.
