Heart attacks are one of the leading causes of death in the United States. However, there are many things that people can do to lower their risk of having a heart attack. Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology is a leading provider of heart imaging services in New York, and we want to share four things that you can do to protect your heart!
One of the best things that you can do for your heart is get regular checkups and screenings. This will help your doctor catch any problems early and make sure that you are healthy. Zwanger-Pesiri Radiology offers a variety of heart imaging services that can help detect problems early, including calcium scoring, HeartFlow (a non-invasive test to diagnose coronary artery disease), and cardiac stress test services. Eating a healthy diet is one of the best things that you can do for your heart. Eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help lower your risk of having a heart attack. Many physicians recommend a Mediterranean diet for heart health that includes fruits and vegetables, whole grains, seafood, nuts and legumes, and olive oil. Exercising regularly is another great way to lower your risk of having a heart attack. Exercise helps improve your heart health and can help you lose weight, which can also reduce your risk. It’s important to remain active and get at least 30 minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week. Smoking is one of the worst things that you can do for your heart. If you smoke, quitting is one of the best things that you can do to lower your risk of having a heart attack. Your primary care provider will be able to help you create a smoking cessation plan.
