Risk Factors for Heart Disease – from the American
Heart Association
High blood pressure (hypertension) — People whose blood
pressure is above a normal range are said to have high blood
pressure, or hypertension. This causes the heart to pump harder
than normal to push blood through the body. High blood pressure
has no warning signals, so everyone should have their blood
pressure checked regularly. High blood pressure can be reduced
by increasing physical activity, making healthy food choices and
staying at a healthy weight.
High cholesterol — Too much cholesterol in the blood raises the
risk for heart disease. Some cholesterol comes from the food we
eat. By eating foods low in fat and cholesterol, we can reduce the
amount of bad cholesterol in our bodies.
Smoking —Cigarettes are very bad for your health. Smoking can
cause cancer, lung disease and heart disease. Over time,
cigarette smoke destroys your lungs and blood vessels, making it
hard for blood to deliver oxygen and nutrients to your organs.
Physical inactivity — Not getting enough regular physical activity is
bad for the heart. Your heart muscle needs to work out to stay in
shape, so be physically active for at least 60 minutes every day.
Not getting enough regular physical activity is linked to high
cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes and being overweight.
Obesity and Overweight — Being overweight isn’t about how you
look outside. It can lead to serious problems inside like high
cholesterol, high blood pressure and diabetes. Eat right and be
physically active to maintain a healthy weight.
Diabetes — Insulin is a hormone that helps the body use sugar.
Diabetes is a disease that develops when your body either
doesn’t make enough insulin or can’t use its own insulin to
efficiently process the sugar you eat, making your blood sugar
levels too high. Sometimes diabetes can be managed with diet
and physical activity. Other times, prescription medicine is
required to control the blood sugar level.
