Increases intake of essential nutrients and dietary fiber, which can lower blood pressure and improve cholesterol levels.

Improves blood circulation, strengthens the heart muscle, and helps maintain a healthy weight.

Poor sleep can lead to higher stress levels, unhealthy weight gain, and increased blood pressure, all risk factors for heart disease.

Stopping smoking reduces the risk of coronary heart disease, lowers blood pressure and heart rate, and improves overall heart function.

Excessive alcohol intake can lead to high blood pressure, heart failure, and stroke. Moderate intake may have a protective effect on the heart.

Being overweight increases the risk of heart disease by contributing to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.

Chronic stress may contribute to increased risk of hypertension and heart disease through unhealthy behavior patterns like overeating or inactivity.

Trans fats clog arteries by raising bad cholesterol levels (LDL) and lowering good cholesterol levels (HDL), increasing the risk of developing heart disease.

High levels of LDL cholesterol can build up in the arteries, leading to a higher risk of coronary artery disease and heart attack.

Maintaining healthy blood pressure reduces strain on the heart, arteries, and kidneys, thus lowering the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Too much sodium can lead to high blood pressure, a major risk factor for heart disease.

High blood sugar can damage the heart and blood vessels over time, especially in diabetes, increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of arrhythmias, decrease triglyceride levels, lower blood pressure slightly, and reduce blood clots.

Saturated fats can raise blood cholesterol levels, increasing the risk of heart disease, so they should be consumed in moderation.

Eating portions larger than you need can lead to weight gain and obesity, putting extra pressure on the heart.

High-fiber foods help control cholesterol and maintain heart health by promoting a feeling of fullness and reducing the absorption of cholesterol.

In addition to cardiovascular exercise, weight training helps maintain muscle mass, improves metabolism, and supports heart health.

Excessive sugar intake can lead to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.
