Steps to undertake lifestyle changes
• For most people, heart failure is a life-long condition that cannot be cured. If you have been diagnosed with heart failure, you can still reduce the risk of further episodes by some lifestyle changes.
• Stopping smoking (if you smoke) will quickly reduce your risk of having a heart attack to near that of a non-smoker. Other lifestyle changes, such as eating healthily and taking regular exercise, will also improve your symptoms and reduce the pressure on your heart.
• Ask our physician or healthcare professional to help you with nutrition and other necessary advice that is appropriate for you and your health.
