A healthful diet and lifestyle can reduce the risk of heart disease.

Cardiovascular disease includes diseases of the heart and diseases of the blood vessel system (arteries, capillaries, veins) within a person’s entire body. The major risk factors for heart disease are high levels of blood cholesterol and other lipids, type 2 diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), metabolic syndrome, overweight and obesity, physical inactivity and tobacco use.
