It is believed that cardiovascular disease is strongly influenced by lifestyle behaviors. Since many of these behaviors are modifiable (changeable), it is logical to assume that if we change our behaviors, we can change our cardiovascular health for the better.Risk factors for developing cardiovascular disease include:SmokingConsuming a high fat/high sodium dietLack of exerciseExcessive use of alcohol and drugsExcessive stress

Lifestyle diseases can occur at any age, but they are more commonly associated with adults due to poor lifestyle choices over time. Factors such as unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, smoking, and excessive alcohol consumption can contribute to the development of lifestyle diseases like obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. Making healthy lifestyle choices early on can help prevent the onset of these diseases.
