Since prevention is always better than cure, follow these basic rules to reduce your risk of having heart problems:
1.Eat a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet. Limit your intake of fats and increase your intake of low-fat foods. Eat lot of fruits, vegetables and whole grain.
2.Monitor your cholesterol levels. Get Lipid Profile test done regularly to ensure that there is right balance between LDL(bad cholesterol) and HDL(good cholesterol) levels.
3.Have your blood pressure checked regularly.Always keep it under control, even if it means taking anti-hypertensive medications.
4.Keep your blood sugar under control. Take appropriate medication and follow the recommendations of the doctor if you have diabetes.
5.Exercise regularly.Start slowly if you are not used to exercising and increase it as your fitness improves.
6.Maintain a healthy weight. Obesity and cardiovascular disease often are linked together as the excess weight carried by a person places an extra load on the heart.

According to the American Heart Association, heart disease is the nation's single leading cause of death for both men and women. At least 58.8 million people in this country suffer from some form of heart disease.
And on the whole, cardiovascular diseases (the combination of heart disease and stroke) kill some 950,000 Americans every year.
In fact, according to the American Heart Association, almost 150,00 Americans killed by cardiovascular disease each year are under the age of 65. And one out of every 20 people below the age of 40 has heart disease.
Depression is increasing day by day because of global economy meltdown these days. A lot of work load to the corporate has led them to be unhealthy. The over work load is disrupting their health schedules, and hence their health concerns are creating a problem. Many corporate employees are reporting to have a severe headache, and heart pains due to increased tension and stress being levied on them. Being one of them, I was having a severe pain on heart and head because of bundles of work being thrust on us. Many of the co-employees were experiencing the same, and many have already gone sick because of unscheduled work, high stress environment round the clock, no exercise, improper food. This was giving a distinguishable impact on the companies work efficiency. And at that time, a corporate wellness program served by a medical service provider elite health was initiated by the company. It was quite an appreciable step to hire a medical service to monitor the health of employees. This decision really ameliorated the working efficiency of the company, which was a direct advantage to the company.
