Feature: Dietary Steps For A Healthier Heart
Don't forget the exercise. Physical activity, along with diet, is key to maintain a healthy heart. Regular aerobic exercise - brisk walking, jogging, swimming, biking, aerobic dance - is a fantastic way to lower your resting heart rate. Experts recommend that adults aim for 60 minutes of physical activity most days of the week.
In order to adopt new habits that can become life-long, make changes gradually. Try adding one or two changes at a time. For example, replace 2% milk with skim, add one serving of soy protein or eat an additional piece of fruit each day. It's the small changes that add up over time.
