1. Stop smoking immediately
Maybe it’s been a while since you’ve begun smoking. You started when you were young, and now it is a part of your everyday life. When you go out to do groceries, you never forget to buy a pack of cigarettes.
But did you know that smoking is one of the major causes of cardiovascular diseases? It causes 1 out of 3 deaths from CVD. More than 480,000 Americans die every year from smoking-related cardiovascular disease.
Even if you’ve been smoking for decades, it is never too late to give up smoking. Let’s say that you are quitting smoking in your 70s. It doesn’t matter. You can still significantly increase your chances of living a healthier and longer life.
