Exercise moderately, regularly and according your age and physical conditions. Make Exercise a Daily Routine activity and without strain. Walking is excellent exercise for everyone and excellent therapy as well. Early morning is ideal for taking a 30-60 minute walk. It will not only help your heart, it will prepare you for the day by charging up your circulation and your metabolism as well.

Eat a healthy diet. Cut back on foods high in saturated fat and sodium (salt), to lower cholesterol and blood pressure. One of the most critical steps you can take towards heart health is to eat a heart-friendly food. Eat more servings of fresh fruits and vegetables, include blanched almonds in your diet, vegetables with onion, fresh lime juice and eat heart-friendly spices such as fresh-ground black pepper and the antioxidant spice turmeric, garlic etc.

How you eat is as important for heart health (and overall health) as what you eat. Eat moderately; the ideal. Don't skip meals, because eating three meals at regular times each day trains your digestion with a slice of fresh ginger dressed with a pinch of salt and limejuice. Don't disturb your digestion by eating late at night or eating a heavy meal at dinner.
