  1. "Eat lots of veggies, fruit, fish, whole grains, and legumes
  2. Drink a moderate amount of alcohol
  3. Practice girth control (keep your waist trimmer than your hips
  4. Walk or bike for 40 minutes daily and get another hour of weekly exercise
  5. Don't smoke"

Heart attacks are a major killer of women. In addition to reducing the risk of heart attack, doing these five things also promotes good health in general.
