Strategies for Maintaining Heart Health at Menopause:

• Healthy Diet: Adopt a heart-healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats (such as omega-3 fatty acids). Limit saturated fats, trans fats, sodium, and added sugars in your diet.
• Regular Exercise: Engage in regular physical activity, including aerobic exercises (such as walking, jogging, swimming, or cycling) and strength training, to improve cardiovascular fitness, manage weight, and support heart health.
• Smoking Cessation: If you smoke, quit smoking to reduce the risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular complications. Seek support and resources for smoking cessation if needed.
• Stress Management: Practice stress-reducing techniques such as mindfulness, meditation, deep breathing exercises, yoga, and hobbies that promote relaxation and well-being.
• Regular Health Screenings: Undergo regular health screenings, including blood pressure checks, cholesterol tests, blood glucose monitoring, and heart health assessments, to monitor cardiovascular risk factors and detect any potential issues early.
