Live Healthy VI of VII


Aside from eating healthfully, doctors suggest avoiding smoking and lessening alcohol intake. Smoking is a major cause of atherosclerosis - a build up of fatty substances in the arteries.

Be aware, snokers continue to increase their risk of heart attack the longer they smoke. On the other hand, too much alcohol can damage the heart muscle, increase blood pressure, and lead to weight gain.
