Did you know there are two types of risk factors for heart disease?
Dr. Akula breaks it down for Heart Month:
Non-Modifiable: These are things you can't change, such as your age, family history and gender.
Modifiable: These are the factors you can control. This is where the benefits are when it comes to your health.
Focus your energy on managing:
- Blood pressure
- Cholesterol levels
- Diabetes
- Smoking habits
By tackling these modifiable risks, you can make a massive difference in your heart’s future. Take charge of what you can control today.
