1. Walk for 30 minutes a day
Brisk walking most days lowers blood pressure, sugar and weight. Three ten-minute walks count too.
2. Halve the salt
Cook with less salt, skip the extra pinch at the table and go easy on pickles, chanachur and packaged snacks.
3. Fill half your plate with vegetables
Then a quarter with rice or roti and a quarter with fish, lentils, eggs or chicken.
4. Stop smoking — today
Within a year of stopping, the extra risk of a heart attack falls by about half. Ask for help; it doubles your chance of success.
5. Know your numbers
Check your blood pressure, cholesterol and sugar regularly. Problems found early are much easier to treat.
