Heart disease and stroke are the number one and number three killers in the United States statistically. There are risk factors that can be controlled to reduce your risk of developing these conditions. Here are some tips on what you can do starting today!
1 - Quit smoking. Main Street Chiropractic Center has a program available which can help you avoid the cravings associated with quitting smoking. In addition, there are several social supportive groups that can help you quit smoking.
2 - Increase exercise.
3 - Increase dietary fiber and fruit/vegetable intake.
4 - Monitor lipid profiles.
The above three suggestions all work towards controlling several of the risk factors associated with heart disease and stroke, namely high blood pressure, atherosclerosis, poor lipid profiles, physical inactivity, and being overweight.
5 - Control stress. This can be difficult, because many people can't avoid stressors at home or work. Finding a way to let go of stress is the best strategy in this case. Try tai chi, yoga, biofeedback, or other stress controlling outlets.
