Life's Simple 7  
Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of Americans. We can reduce heart disease by making changes and adopting a healthy diet and lifestyle. But what exactly does that mean?
For the first time, the American Heart Association has defined ideal cardiovascular health by identifying seven health and behavior factors. Known as "Life's Simple 7," these steps can help add years to your life:

1. Don't smoke;
2. Maintain a healthy weight;
3. Engage in regular physical activity;
4. Eat a healthy diet;
5. Manage blood pressure;
6. Take charge of cholesterol; and
7. Keep blood sugar, or glucose, at healthy levels.
