What Are You Doing to Help Your Heart?

Hey All,

What are you doing to help your heart stay young? Exercising? Dieting? Reducing stress? Taking blood pressure meds?

Whatever your strategies, please share them. You will help be helping other ThirdAgers broaden their thinking about heart disease prevention, and might inspire others to follow your lead.

My own strategy is gardening, which I love. I traded in my old self-propelled mower for a push mower. And to prepare beds for planting, I usually dig them by hand instead of using my little tiller/cultivator (which I save for major renovations). And rather than spray for weeds and bugs, I attack them by pulling and squashing.

What's your heart-smart plan of attack?
