• Limit your intake of saturated fats and eliminate trans fats to lower LDL cholesterol and reduce your risk of atherosclerosis.
• Reduce sodium intake to less than 2,300 mg per day to help control blood pressure and lower the risk of stroke and heart disease.
• Engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise per week, such as brisk walking, swimming, or cycling, to improve heart health and cholesterol levels.
