Healthy Heart Habits: Everyday Steps for a Stronger Heart

Healthy Heart Habits shows you how heart disease and stroke develop, and how everyday habits and good medical care lower the risk. You learn what your blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and waist numbers mean and how to measure blood pressure correctly at home. Then you work through the habits with the strongest evidence: Mediterranean and DASH-style eating, cutting hidden salt, moving more, quitting smoking, drinking less, sleeping well and handling stress.

It is for adults who want to protect their heart, whether their numbers are fine, borderline or already being treated, and for anyone with a family history of heart disease. It explains common heart medicines honestly, helps you prepare for appointments, and teaches the warning signs of a heart attack and stroke, with what to do while you wait for help. It is educational and does not replace medical care.
