How to avoid CORONARY HEART DISEASE?

Help with the details about how to avoid the CHD.
Plz give the answer in detail n also mention the sources

The major risk factors for CHD include: age (65+), gender (male), hereditary (including race), high blood pressure, high cholesterol, physical inactivity, obesity, smoking, and diabetes.

Some of them can be modified, treated or controlled, and some can't. The more risk factors you have, the greater your chance of developing coronary heart disease. Also, the greater the level of each risk factor, the greater the risk. For example, a person with a total cholesterol of 300 mg/dL has a greater risk than someone with a total cholesterol of 245 mg/dL, even though everyone with a total cholesterol greater than 240 is considered high-risk.

In general, exercise and a healthy diet will help you avoid CHD. See the American Heart Association website for more information. Source(s): http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.j...

we have that in my family we have had a few bypass surgeries with uncles, (all in their 50's)
the doctor said that they need to make sure they maintain a healthy weight, don't eat foods with (much) saturated fats, salts, etc..
make sure you have your blood pressure under control and keep check of your cholesterol, you should go get a test!
my dad (who also has chd) also takes asprin every day to keep his blood thin
talk to your doctor, he can give you a book of what sort of diet. exercies / possible preventitive medicines you can take
Various factors.
lifestyle. If you smoke...Stop!
Exercise. Helps keep your heart muscle strong.
Blood Pressure. Have it checked
Cholesterol. have it checked
Diet. Avoid saturated fat. That's what blocks arteries.
Family History. Unfortunately you can't do anything about that,but by looking after your body,you can educe the risk immeasurably.
My own heart surgery,and terrible lifestyle previous to it
To avoid coronary heart disease = maintain coronary artery
health.

There maybe genetic factors that limit the number of beats a hart can make but if you work on maintaining blood supply to the muscle you could last forever.
Blockages in the coronary arteries restrict blood flow to the hart muscle and some of it can die and if enough of your hart is not functioning well your in trouble.
Anything that gets pumped up into your brain causes the brain to go into spasm and blockages in the brains blood flow cause brain death.

I don't like preach a little aspirin everyday is supposed to be good.
