3 Things To Do After You Survive A Heart Attack

3 Things To Do After You Survive A Heart Attack

Wow that was scary, but survived and now it's time to make sure that never happens again. According to the CDC 735,000 Americans have a heart attack and 610,000 Americans die from heart disease each year, making it the #1 killer of Americans. An unhealthy diet, obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes & pre-diabetes, Smoking & Physical inactivity are the top risk factors.  Maybe your doctors, family or friends had told you that you need to get in shape, but you didn't take seriously. Nothing like a good scare to adjust your priorities. So now that you are committed to making a change, what should you do?
