7. Eat properly
A good diet can avoid many of the issues that lead to heart disease. Avoid saturated fat, cholesterol, and salt. Eat the things that you already know are good for you. A healthy diet doesn’t have to be complicated.
Some of the best heart-healthy foods include:
- Berries
- Whole grains
- Fish oil
- Nuts
- Beans
- Leafy greens
- Dark chocolate
- Fruits and vegetables
- Seeds
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. Approximately 25% of the population ultimately succumbs to heart disease.
The rates are much lower in those countries with healthier eating and exercise habits. However, you don’t need to pack your bags and move to Japan to lower your risk of heart disease. You only need to adopt healthy behaviors and drop any behaviors that don’t help you to thrive.
A healthy diet, good sleep, and exercise can prevent a lot of negative health issues. These are the things you already know how to do. Start doing them religiously and strengthen your health. You’ll be glad you did!

Let's end this post with a quote that I love it very much:
