Control blood pressure - With unhealed hypertension develops heart failure in which the heart is unable to cope with the ongoing flow of blood through it. If smoking - the main cause of premature death in developed countries, the hypertension assurances second place.
Healthy diet - Mediterranean diet significantly reduces the risk of heart attacks, strokes and the number of premature deaths. Switching to this mode of supply as Swedish researchers have found, it will give you an average of three extra years of life. Not bad at all!
