Smoking affects your blood vessels and causes the hardening of the arteries, causing the blockage of the blood pathway.
Drinking too much alcohol contributes to additional calories, which might result in weight gain. It can also increase your blood pressure and lipid levels, raising your risk of heart disease.
4. Consult Your Doctor for Medication
Your doctor may advise you to take cholesterol-lowering medicine to lower the risk of heart attack or stroke.
Statins are the most prevalent form of cholesterol-lowering drug. These lessen your risk of heart attack or stroke by lowering the bad cholesterol found in the blood.
