7.Drink in Moderation (Or Not at All)
Too much alcohol can lead to fatty buildup in your arteries. That can raise your odds of a heart attack or stroke. It also can lead to high blood pressure and other heart-related problems. It’s best for most of us to stop at one drink a day for women or two drinks a day for men. (A «drink» is 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of liquor.) But, depending on your health, even that much could cause problems. Talk with your doctor about what’s right for you.
8.Sleep Well
If you don’t get enough shut-eye, your heart doesn’t get the rest it needs and your blood pressure could stay higher than it should. Get good sleep by following a bedtime routine, staying away from late-night snacks and caffeinated drinks in the evening, and getting off your devices for a while before bed.
