    Did you know that you can lower your heart disease risk by a whopping 82 percent, just by choosing a heart healthy lifestyle?

    A recent study shows that people ages 70 to 90 who lead a healthy lifestyle have reduced their chances of dying from heart disease by almost two-thirds. So it’s never too late to start!

    Here are five simple ways you can start to vitalize your life and love your heart:


    Maintain a healthy weight — Losing just 5 percent of your current weight over six months and maintaining can lower your risk for heart disease.

    Eat healthfully — A diet high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and omega-3 fatty acids (fish and nuts) is good for your heart health.

    Be active — Keep moving! Enjoy a walk with a friend. Strengthen your muscles (arm curls, leg lifts, shoulder raises).
