BMI Calculator:
Body mass index (BMI) is a measure of body fat based on height and weight that applies to adult men and women. Your BMI should always be in a healthy range for optimal cardiovascular health. Click the BMI Calculator link to calculate your BMI.
Stop Smoking:
Smoking cigarettes tops the list as the most important preventable major risk factor of our No. 1 killer — heart and blood vessel disease. The long list of diseases and deaths due to smoking is frightening. Smoking also harms thousands of nonsmokers, including infants and children, who are exposed to second-hand cigarette smoke.
If you smoke, you have good reason to worry about its effect on your health, your loved ones and others. When you quit, you reduce that risk tremendously!

Start Eating Better:
Do you really know what eating healthy means? Eating healthy can nearly cut your risk of heart attack and stroke in half! I highly recommend finding a healthy eating diet that works best for you. I recommend to all my patients either the South Beach Diet or Dean Ornish’s Reversing Heart Disease. Find out if you’re a healthy eater or if you could improve your eating patterns.
