Prevention

Whatever the family history, situation or risk, heart health problems can be prevented or postponed for many years using reasonably straightforward strategies. Prevention Strategies are divided into either a lifestyle approach, use of medicines or a combination of both.

Lifestyle

Regular exercise, not smoking, avoiding becoming overweight and a ‘Mediterranean-style’ diet: rich in, fruits, vegetables, cereals, fish, nuts and vegetable oils. All factors that play a huge part in keeping your heart healthy.

Medicine

Medical practice largely includes the correct management of blood pressure and cholesterol.

Assessment

An assessment of which of these strategies is best for an individual is based on a number of possible contributing factors.

Family history, smoking, diet, hypertension and high cholesterol levels are amongst the most relevant.
