Heart disease in women can be prevented by exercise and a healthy diet rich in vegetables and fruits. It's also important to take supplements and vitamins such as vitamin D, Chlorella and Spirulina.
Although it is thought that heart disease is only a man's problem, millions of women develop this disease. According to studies, heart disease is the most prevalent cause of mortality and a leading cause of disability for American women. As a woman ages, her risk for developing heart disease increases. In fact, a postmenopausal woman's risk of developing heart disease is equal to that of a man. However, women of all ages should take steps to avoid heart disease. Minimize your risk for heart disease by adopting healthy lifestyle habits.

More women than men die from heart disease, which is preventable. Many women allow family and work responsibilities to take priority in their lives often at the expense of their own physical health needs.
