How to reduce your risk
Prevention is always better than a cure and there are some simple lifestyle changes you can make to reduce your risk.
Above all else, eating a healthy, balanced diet provides a buffer against a heart attack.
The NHS explains: “Eating an unhealthy diet that is high in fat will make hardening of the arteries (atherosclerosis) worse and increase your risk of a heart attack.
“Continuing to eat high-fat foods will cause more fatty plaques to build up in your arteries. This is because fatty foods contain an unhealthy type of cholesterol.”
