In the meantime, here are some actionable tips to improve your heart health.

1. Ditch smoking for good if you do smoke.
\xa0
2. Keep on moving & try not to sit for long periods.
\xa0
3. Control your blood pressure (stay away from stressful people if you can).
\xa0
4. Lower triglycerides & manage your insulin levels. Get your metabolic house in order by:\xa0

a. Cutting back on sugary stuff and refined carbs (think soda, white bread, rice, etc). By the way, store-bought juices aren't good too, and even homemade smoothies and similar drinks aren't the best either. When you blend fruit, you destroy the fiber that helps your body absorb glucose slowly, so all that's left is a bunch of sugar that can make your glucose levels spike. Just eat that apple.
\xa0
b. Load up on fiber.
\xa0
c. Easy on the booze.
\xa0
d. Go for the good fats like extra virgin olive oil, macadamia nuts, avocados, and other similar foods. These won't crank up your apoB levels like saturated fats do. You can make up to 60% of your daily fat intake with these “good” fats. It's not about cutting fat altogether; it's about swapping to fats that promote a better lipid profile.

5. If necessary, consult your physician about supplements or medications that may help control your apoB levels.

It’s never not a good time to check your heart, until it’s too late.
