Lose Weight

Even if you have no other risk factors, you are more likely to develop heart disease if you are overweight or obese. You can ask your doctor if you are at a healthy weight and have a body mass index (BMI) that is appropriate for you.

The best way to lose weight is to follow a sensible eating plan and engage in regular physical activity. If you're interested in a weight-loss program, make sure that it encourages healthy behaviors that help you lose weight that you can maintain over time. Before you start a weight-loss program, talk to your doctor.
