       1  Don't smoke

If you want to keep yourself away from heart diseases then the most important thing is to stop smoking today (if you do). If you are addicted to smoking then during this time you may feel that it is giving you peace but in reality it does not help in keeping your health right in any way. Smoking and tobacco consumption is one of the biggest causes of coronary heart diseases. Tobacco causes great damage to the blood vessels and heart.

 If you want to prevent heart diseases, quit smoking today and use nicotine patches or chewing gum instead.

Eat whole grains:  Products made from refined grains can be replaced with whole grains. Whole grains are high in fiber which plays an important role in controlling blood pressure.

 Take care of the quantity of food:  Eating the right quantity of food is as important as eating the right food. Eating more quantity of food can lead to intake of more calories which can be harmful for your heart, so get used to eating the right amount of food.

Eat fruits and vegetables:  Fruits and vegetables are rich in fiber. They contain substances that help prevent heart disease, as well as being a good source of vitamins and minerals. A complete diet has been shown to be very good at reducing the risk of heart disease.
