HuffPost
Don't give up on these goals, even if you get distracted from time to time — every little bit counts.
It’s the season when many people set New Year’s resolutions for the year ahead, and these goals are often related to physical health.
Experts say there’s one big area that many people should focus on when it comes to their well-being: cardiovascular health.
“Cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in America,” said Dr. William Cornwell, a cardiologist at UCHealth University of Colorado Hospital. “And, sadly, people... lack a clear understanding of the health or unhealth of their hearts until something catastrophic happens, such as a heart attack or a stroke.”
But there are lifestyle habits you can adopt to manage some of the factors ― like high cholesterol, diabetes and high blood pressure ― that put you at risk of heart attack and stroke.
Cardiologists say they encourage these lifestyle habits every year. Below, doctors shared with HuffPost the New Year’s resolutions they set and recommend to patients in the name of heart health.
