The good news is that life expectancy in the U.S. increased in 2018 for the first time in four years, newly released federal data shows. The bad news is that heart disease continues to be the leading cause of death in the U.S. among both men and women -- despite the fact that some basic lifestyle changes can dramatically reduce the risk of heart disease among most people in the U.S.
Lifestyle changes that can improve your heart health include eating a low-fat and low-sodium diet, getting moderate exercise on most days of the week, not smoking, and limiting alcohol intake.
If you are seeking to make changes to improve your heart health your physician at Foxhall Internists is available to help you develop a plan that is tailored to your individual needs
