Know What Your BMI Should Be
Though weight is often seen as being a superficial conversation, for doctors it is less about physical appearances and more focused on actual body and heart health. A study done in 2018 in JAMA Cardiology showed that having a high Body Mass Index (BMI) can increase your risk of heart disease. Ask your doctor what your BMI should be, and try to maintain a healthy lifestyle in that range. Try not to base your BMI off of online charts, as there are many more factors that really go into this than just height and weight.

Brush Your Teeth Every Day
Did you know that gum disease carries many of the same health risks as heart disease? Harvard Health says that bacteria found in your gums may travel to blood vessels, which will inflame your arteries and create blood clots that increase the risks of a stroke. Though in 2012 the American Heart Association stated that it’s not always the case that gum disease will harm your heart, you’ll still want to brush and floss your teeth twice per day.
