    The smartest plan for attacking a heart attack is, of course, preventing one from ever happening. Choose three of the following strategies and make them a habit. The closer to the top, the more you reduce your risk of heart disease.

    1. Convince Your Wife to Stop Smoking

    Nonsmoking husbands of smoking wives face a 92 percent increase in their risk of heart attack. Breathing secondhand smoke boosts bad cholesterol levels, decreases good cholesterol, and increases your blood's tendency to clot.

    2. Work Out for 30 Minutes, Four Times a Week

    Middle-aged men who exercise vigorously for 2 or more hours cumulatively per week have 60 percent less risk of heart attack than inactive men do.

    3. Lose 10 to 20 Pounds

    If you're overweight, dropping 10 to 20 pounds lowers your risk of dying from a heart attack. A 10-year study found that overweight people had heart attacks 8.2 years earlier than normal-weight victims.

    4. Drink Five Glasses of Water a Day

    Men who drink that many 8-ounce glasses are 54 percent less likely to have a fatal heart attack than those who drink two or fewer. Researchers say the water dilutes the blood, making it less likely to clot.

    5. Switch from Coffee to Tea

    A recent study found that people who drink three cups of tea a day have half the risk of heart attack of those who don't drink tea at all. Potent antioxidants, called flavonoids, provide a protective effect.

    6. Eat Salmon on Saturday, Tuna on Tuesday

    Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health say that eating fish at least twice a week lowers heart-disease risk by more than 30 percent. The magic ingredient is the omega-3 fatty acids.

    7. Ask Your Doctor About Vitamin E and Aspirin

    Men who take both cut the plaque in clogged arteries by more than 80 percent, according to a recent University of Pennsylvania study.

    8. Eat a Cup of Total Corn Flakes for Breakfast

    This cereal contains one of the highest concentrations of folate (675 micrograms) of any cereal. Taking in that much folic acid daily cuts your risk of cardiovascular disease by 13 percent, according to researchers.

    9. Count to 10

    Creating a 10-second buffer before reacting to a stressful situation may be enough to cool you down. Men who respond with anger are three times more likely to have heart disease and five times more likely to have a heart attack before turning 55.

    10. Eat Watermelon

    It contains about 40 percent more lycopene than is found in raw tomatoes, and a new study shows that your body absorbs it at higher levels due to the melon's high water content. Half a wedge can boost heart-disease prevention by 30 percent.

    要想打败心脏病,最明智的计划当然是永远不患上这种病。从下面选择三个方法,并使之习惯化。越是靠前的方法,越有助于降低患心脏病的危险。

    1 说服你的妻子停止吸烟

    如果丈夫不吸烟,而妻子吸烟的话,那么丈夫的心脏病患病风险就会增加92%.吸二手烟会增加不良胆固醇的水平,降低有益胆固醇,并增加血凝的倾向。

    2 每周运动4次,每次30分钟

    每周累积运动2小时以上的中年男性,比不运动的男性减少60%的心脏病风险。

    3 减肥10到20磅

    超重者减肥10至20磅,可以降低因心脏病发作而死亡的风险。某项历时10年的研究发现,在心脏病病人中,超重的人比正常体重者早8.2年患病。

    4 每天喝5杯水

    比起那些一天只喝一两杯水的男性,喝水较多的男性减少了54%患上致命性心脏病的风险。研究人员说,水可以稀释血液,使之不易发生凝结。

    5 把咖啡换成茶

    最近的一项研究发现,每天喝三杯茶的人比不喝茶的人降低了一半患心脏病的危险。茶中的类黄酮是有效的抗氧化剂,为心脏提供了保护作用。

    6 周六尝鲑鱼,周二品金枪

    哈佛公共卫生学院的研究人员称,每周至少吃两次鱼可以降低30%以上心脏疾病的风险。其中的神奇成分是ω- 3脂肪酸。

    7 按医嘱摄取维E与阿司匹林

    根据最近宾夕法尼亚大学的一项研究,同时摄取维E和阿司匹林的男性减少动脉阻塞的几率达80%以上。

    8 早餐吃玉米片

    玉米中叶酸的含量在谷类里最高。研究表明,每天摄取叶酸达到675微克(一杯玉米片就足够),就可以削减13%心血管疾病的风险。

    9 倒数10秒

    面对压力时,请在反应过激之前给自己10秒的缓冲,使自己慢慢冷静下来。以生气应对压力的男性患病率达3倍之高,55岁之前的患病率甚至达5倍。

    10 吃西瓜

    西瓜含有的茄红素比生番茄多40%.一项新的研究表明,由于西瓜的含水量较高,人体更容易吸收其中的茄红素。一块西瓜就可将心脏病患病率降低30%.
