Heart disease remains one of the biggest threats to longevity worldwide.
As people age, factors such as high blood pressure, unhealthy cholesterol levels, smoking, inactivity and poor diet can contribute to damage within the cardiovascular system.
Having a healthy heart later in life can help support physical activity, circulation and overall independence.
The good news is that many cardiovascular risk factors can be influenced by everyday habits, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, maintaining a healthy weight and avoiding tobacco.
