What is the number one method for coronary heart disease prevention?

Walking/eating right: I recommend preventing major health problems by engaging in two activities over which most of us have control nearly every day.

Knowledge: Undestand your risk factors & modify them...When you are men over 40 or women over get a coronary calcium screening....It is believed that 80% of adverse cardiovascular events are preventable...Establish a partnership with a physician who understands and communication about primary prevention.

Activity: Staying active through either a regular exercise program or regular participation in an active hobby has consistently been shown to reduce risk. Diets come and go, and even weight isn't 100% predictive (the "obesity paradox"). Control blood pressure, have a healthy cholesterol, don't smoke, and don't over-eat.
