Dr Oz's Road to Wellness - Protecting your Heart

• Monitor key numbers, including your blood pressure, pulse, and cholesterol, before you develop a health issue.
 
• Limit yourself to one alcoholic drink per day, the optimal amount for reducing your risk of heart disease or stroke.
 
• Hold the salt to keep your blood pressure in check.
 
• Skip fast food, which can contain trans fats that raise "bad" (LDL) cholesterol levels.
 
• Stretch to make your body....and possibly your arteries more flexible.
