There are several strategies women can adopt to reduce their risk of a heart attack:
Maintaining a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains Engaging in regular physical activity Managing stress through activities like yoga or meditation Regularly monitoring blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels Avoiding smoking and limiting alcohol intake
Women should also discuss their risk factors with their gynecologist and consider regular screenings for heart disease, especially if they have a family history of cardiovascular issues.
