Some risk factors for developing heart disease include high blood pressure, smoking, high cholesterol, diabetes, and poor lifestyle habits. Although genetics play a role in the disease, people have the ability to change that predisposition. It is noteworthy that non-traditional risk factors of heart diseases include social isolation, resentment, grief, depression, loneliness, hostility, anxiety to mention a few.

Regular exercise and healthy eating (increase intake of fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, whole grains; decrease intake of saturated fat diet; limit intake of free sugars; limit salt consumption and ensure that salt is iodized; slowly increase intake of plant based diet) are highly recommended. Lifestyle changes including positive thinking, engaging in healthy relationships and avoiding stress are also helpful in preventing this disease.
