"Keep your weight within the normal range
Carrying excess weight makes your heart work harder, increasing your risk of high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. Women are considered to be overweight if their waist measures over 35 inches. To reduce your weight, pay attention to portion size. A recommended serving size for pasta is half a cup, and a serving of meat should be only 2 to 3 ounces. These portions may take a while to get used to, but they can make a big difference.
Take the stairs
Take the stairs
Aside from your normal exercise routine, it’s important to maintain a good cardiovascular system by keeping yourself moving. A simple way to start is to take the stairs instead of the elevator, even if it’s just one flight. Park your car a block or two away from your destination to walk a little more. If you have a dog, think of walking it as a way to get some extra exercise. "
