Healthy Habits Lower Heart Disease Risk In Men
Adopting a healthier lifestyle, incorporating several basic habits is proven to help prevent heart attacks and heart-related deaths. In a recent study of middle-aged and older men, basic habits previously known to individually lower the risk of coronary heart disease are now shown to have even greater benefit when performed in combination. The five habits evaluated in the study were: maintaining a healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, not smoking, and drinking in moderation. Adhering to even one habit lowered risk, but men who followed all five habits experienced the least heart-related events. Even as few as two healthy practices reduced the likelihood by 37 percent.
