More women die from Heart Disease than from any other cause, but women tend to worry more about getting cancer than they worry about their heart.
The First Step in Fighting Heart Disease is to limit the progression of the disease by managing and reducing the risk factors through lifestyle modification. The more risk factors a person has, the greater the risk for developing Heart Disease. Risk factors for the development of Heart Disease in women include; diabetes and metabolic syndrome, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, smoking, obesity and physical inactivity, age and being postmenopausal.
