This is what
Happens
When You
Be h
Cardiovascular disease or heart disease is the
number one killer in Canada. It is also the most costly
disease in Canada, putting the greatest burden on
our national health care system.
A number of factors, individually or in combination,
can lead to heart disease:
Smoking;
Diets rich in saturated fat;
Physical inactivity;
Stress;
A family history of heart disease; and
Being overweight.
Medical conditions such as high blood pressure,
high blood cholesterol, obesity and diabetes are also
potent risk factors.
Men are generally more likely to develop heart
disease. An increasing number of women are
experiencing heart disease but they are under-
diagnosed. For both sexes, the risk of heart disease
increases with age.
For more information on symptoms and health effects
of stroke and how to minimize your risk, consult It's
Your Health factsheet on stroke.
Heart Healthy Tips
Don't smoke.
Not smoking or quitting smoking reduces your risk of
developing heart disease and not smoking may help
to increase the "good" cholesterol in your blood.
It also reduces your risk of having a heart attack,
stroke, and common cancers.
Eat a wider variety of foods.
According to Canada's Food Guide, as part of a
balanced diet, we should enjoy a variety of foods
and choose lower -fat foods more often.
Get moving.
As little as 60 minutes a day of accumulated physical
activity will help keep your heart in shape. Not sure
how to start? Try the Physical Activity Guide for
some ideas.
Eating well and staying physically active will help you
to control your weight. Avoid fad or miracle diets.
Have regular medical check-ups that include
measurement of your blood cholesterol level. You
can also be tested for diabetes, one of the major risk
factors for heart disease.
