Heart disease is the No.1 killer of Americans.
We can reduce heart disease by promoting healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle.

The American Heart Association has identified seven health and behavior factors impacting health and quality of life.
Known as "Life's Simple 7,” these steps can help add years to your life:
1. Don't smoke.
2. Maintain a healthy weight;
3. Engage in regular physical activity;
4. Eat a healthy diet;
5. Manage blood pressure;
6. Take charge of cholesterol; and
7. Keep blood sugar, or glucose, at healthy levels.
