In my heart series articles I mentioned that Cardiovascular Disease is very preventable also I discussed why women at a greater risk of heart diseases . In this topic i will talk about the most important quetion you shoul ask your doctor
these are:
1.What is my blood pressure? What does it mean for me, and what do I need to do about it?
2. What is my "body mass index" and waist measurement? Do they indicate that I need to lose weight for my health?
3.What is my blood sugar level, and does it mean I'm at risk for diabetes?
4.What are my cholesterol numbers? (These include total cholesterol, LDL or "bad" cholesterol, HDL or "good" cholesterol, and triglycerides.) What do they mean for me, and what do I need to do about them?
5. What other screening tests for heart disease do I need? How often should I return for checkups for my heart health?
6.What is my risk for heart disease?
7.What can you do to help me quit smoking?
8.How much physical activity do I need to help protect my heart?
9.What is a heart-healthy eating plan for me? Should I see a registered dietitian or qualified nutritionist to learn more about healthy eating?
10.How can I tell if I'm having a heart attack?
If you got your answer for these questions you end up with your perfectly tailored health plan for healthy heart
