There are several ways which can help you to prevent any of these factors from affecting your health. Eat a healthy, balanced diet which is low in fat and high on fibre. Include lots of fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains in your diet. Regular exercise will help to make your heart more efficient, lower your high cholesterol levels, and maintain your blood pressure at a healthy level.
You should quit smoking as it is a major risk factor for furring of the arteries. Smoking is also responsible for the majority of cases of coronary thrombosis (rupture of preexisting coronary artery plaque, resulting in the artery's complete blockage) in people under the age of 50. Reduce your alcohol consumption and do not binge drink as it increases heart attack risk.
