70. PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE
10 simple steps
(a)Healthy food intake - Eat at least 3 servings of fruit and vegetables a day and
avoid saturated fat. Beware of processed foods, which often contain high levels of
salt.
(b)Get active - Even 30 minutes of activity can help to prevent heart attacks and
strokes and your work will benefit too.
(c)Say NO to tobacco - The risk of coronary heart
disease will be halved within a year and will
return to a normal level over time.
71. PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE
10 simple steps
(d)Maintain a healthy weight - Weight loss, especially together with lowered salt
intake, leads to lowering of blood pressure. High blood pressure is the number
one risk factor for stroke and a major factor for approximately half of all heart
diseases and stroke.
(e)Know your numbers - Visit a healthcare professional
who can measure your blood pressure, cholesterol and
glucose levels, together with waist-to-hip ratio and body
mass index (BMI). Once you know your
overall risk, you can develop a specific plan
of action to improve your heart health.
72. PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE
10 simple steps
(f)Limit alcohol intake - Restrict the amount of alcoholic drinks that one
consumes. Excessive alcohol intake can cause blood pressure to rise and weight
to increase.
(g)Ensure a smoke-free environment at home, 100% smoke-free. Support the
adoption of smoking – cessation services.
(h)Bring exercise to the workplace - Include physical
activity in your working schedule - cycle to
work if this is possible, take the stairs,
exercise or go for a walk during your lunch
breaks, and encourage others to do so too.
73. PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE
10 simple steps
(i)Choose healthy food options - Ask for healthy food at your work canteen /
Officers Mess, or find nearby cafes or restaurants that serve healthy meals.
(j)Encourage stress-free moments - whilst stress has not been shown to be a
direct risk factor for heart disease and stroke, it is related to smoking, excessive
drinking and unhealthy eating, which are definite risk factors for heart disease.
Take time for lunch away from the workplace to get some
fresh air - Have regular breaks during the day
- try stretching or exercising for 5 minutes
four times a day.
