Fish Oil
Loaded with the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA, fish oil helps to maintain healthy triglyceride levels and reduce your risk of heart-related concerns.
Follow a Heart Healthy Diet
Include heart healthy foods in your diet, including soy, garlic, grapes and red wine, and tea. Also, use margarine and supplements with plant stanols and sterols that have been shown to effectively reduce total and LDL cholesterol.
Consume Adequate Fiber
Studies suggest that 25 to 35 grams per day of dietary fiber may provide a primary preventive effect against heart disease.
Exercise Regularly
Physical activity has been examined as primary therapy for improving blood sugar control and deterring the complications of abnormal glucose levels — great news for those managing diabetes. Furthermore, regular exercise can help increase desirable HDL "good" cholesterol levels and reduce undesirable LDL "bad" cholesterol levels.
Get a Good Night's Sleep
Several serious sleep disorders are associated with hypertension, higher stress levels and irregular heartbeat.
The list doesn't stop there, as there are many more things you can do — including taking supplements — that can also help with heart health.
