US EditionDoctor says doing these 5 things can reduce heart disease risk
Dr. Reem Hasan advises simple daily habits including short exercise bursts, plant-based meals, and stress management to reduce heart disease risk, citing CDC data on US mortality.
- NHS General Practitioner Dr. Reem Hasan of Covent Garden Medical Centre recommends small, daily lifestyle changes since many cardiovascular risks develop quietly and early intervention prevents serious problems.
- The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports one person dies every 34 seconds from cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death for most groups in the United States.
- Practical measures include office workers fitting a `three to five minute burst` of movement between meetings, shifting to plant-forward meals, aiming for 7-9 hours' sleep, and managing stress with deep breathing and mindfulness, Dr. Hasan advised.

- Dr. Hasan adds that the heart performs best with low or no alcohol, framing alcohol reduction and mental wellbeing as essential preventive care.
