When it comes to your heart health, starting with the right information is important. Talk to your health care practitioner to establish your own needs and then set yourself on the path to heart health with these basics.
Heart health is a topic often rife with conflicting and confusing information. When dealing with cardiovascular conditions such as high cholesterol or hypertension, it’s important to establish a baseline for your specific case. Do this by having your cholesterol and blood pressure checked regularly by your health care practitioner. Once you’ve reviewed your test outcomes with your doctor, it’s often most effective to start with the basics when beginning any treatment protocol. Making dietary and lifestyle changes is of the utmost importance, especially in the case of high cholesterol and/or high blood pressure.
