Maintain a healthy weight. An optimal weight will prevent the heart from having to work harder to pump blood throughout the body. Spend more time in motion. The American Heart Association recommends 30 minutes of moderate exercise five days a week. If this seems overwhelming, break it into two, 15-minute increments five days a week.
Kick the habit the non-traditional way. If all the traditional methods to quit smoking aren't working, opt for acupuncture or hypnosis. Become more Zen. Stress can lead to inflammation, an underlying cause of heart disease. By keeping stress under control you also will be less likely to engage in harmful behaviors such as smoking, drinking to excess and eating unhealthy food. Prioritize sleep and put off the to-do list until morning.
