There are many factors that you can control that will help to prevent damage to your heart and cardiovascular disease.

By taking care of the items that you can control, you can help counteract those items that you cannot, such as your age and family history.
The best way to prevent cardiovascular disease is to quit smoking and discontinue the use of smokeless tobacco products. The chemicals in tobacco can lead to atherosclerosis, which is a narrowing of the arteries. This narrowing of the arteries is what causes heart attacks. The good news is that as soon as you quit tobacco use, your body starts to benefit immediately.
Regular exercise plays an important role in preventing cardiovascular disease. Try to get some exercise every day, even if you can only exercise for a little while. Walking is a great heart-healthy exercise, but you can do any exercise that gets you moving. Exercise is also an important part of maintaining a healthy weight, which also helps to prevent cardiovascular disease.
What you eat is important too. Try to limit your intake of red meat, dairy products, baked goods and fast foods. All of these items contain high amounts of fat, which is not good for your heart. Try to add some healthier foods to your diet, such as fruits and vegetables. You could also add some foods that are high in Omega-3s, such as fish and canola oil.
Make sure that you get a complete physical every year. You doctor will screen you for cardiovascular disease by checking your blood pressure. Your doctor may also run some tests to screen for Diabetes and check your cholesterol. You may need medication to help prevent these dangerous conditions that can lead to cardiovascular disease.
It is never too late to improve your health. Even small changes can help to improve the function of your heart. It is best to take one day at a time and start slowly when making changes to your lifestyle. These slow changes will add up over time and help to improve your overall heart health.
