5.Treat Yourself to a Little Chocolate
Chocolate, in small amounts, is good for your heart. Cocoa has nutrients including flavonoids and antioxidants, both of which support cardiac health. It’s best to choose dark chocolate without a lot of fat-adding ingredients such as peanut butter. Enjoy! But try to limit yourself to 1-2 ounces per week.
6.Get a Flu Shot
If you already have heart disease, your body might not have as much strength to fight off the flu, which can make you more likely to have a heart attack or get pneumonia.
So get vaccinated every year by October, to help avoid catching it. You’ll need the flu shot, not the nasal spray version of the flu vaccine.
