Irish Times (Apr 13, 09:11 AM) You will lower your risk of heart disease by:
- stopping smoking;
- reducing fat intake;
- getting regular physical activity - even 10 minutes brisk walking each day will help;
- finding out about family history and, if necessary, having a blood pressure and cholesterol check - quick, painless and available at GP surgery;
- if approaching menopause, inform yourself about pros and cons of HRT.
