In a heart attack, you only have seconds to save your life. What should you do?

You don’t have to train like an athlete. Just 30 minutes of brisk walking, swimming, dancing, or even just gardening a day is good for your heart. Adding some strength training once or twice a week is also a great way to support your cardiovascular health.

3. Say goodbye to smoking

Tobacco is a major threat to the heart. Quit gradually, find healthy alternatives, and rely on a support network. Every day without smoking is a step toward a stronger heart.

4. Manage your stress levels

Chronic stress silently strains the heart. Try simple relaxing routines like deep breathing, meditation, nature walks, or creative hobbies to unwind and recharge. Discover what relaxes you and turn it into a habit.

5. Consult your doctor regularly
