Weight loss
If you’re overweight you’re more likely to have a heart attack, especially if you’re weight is around the stomach area. If you lose weight you can cut the risk of heart disease. Overweight people improve their blood pressure by losing weight. The most common form of heart disease among people is called coronary heart disease. It occurs when the coronary arteries bringing blood to the heart get clogged up fat which causes them to narrow.
