BODY MASS INDEXBody Mass Index (BMI) is a measurement of your weight distribution compared to your height. Many health conditions,including cholesterol levels and total heart health, are related to your body mass. Elevated BMI can result in healthproblems associated with heart and kidney disease. To improve your BMI, aim to live a more balanced lifestyle byincreasing your physical activity, drinking plenty of water, and choosing a balanced diet.

BLOOD PRESSUREBlood pressure is the force of blood against the walls of the arteries. It is recorded in two numbers: the systolic/topnumber (pressure as the heart beats) and diastolic/bottom number (pressure as the heart relaxes between beats). Toimprove your blood pressure, follow a healthy eating pattern by eating foods low in salt and sodium, maintain a healthyweight, and increase physical activity. Smoking can also increase your risk of hypertension (elevated blood pressure).

LDL CHOLESTEROLCholesterol is a waxy substance in the blood stream and the body’s cells which aids in forming some hormones andother body functions. Specifically, LDL cholesterol is labeled as the “bad” cholesterol and if too much is circulating, it canbuild up in the walls of arteries that serve the heart and brain and increase an individual’s risk of heart disease andstroke. To improve your LDL, it’s important to start with a healthy diet that is low in saturated fats, and increase yourphysical activity.

GLUCOSEMost of the food you eat is broken down into glucose, a form of sugar in the blood. Glucose is the main source of fuelfor the body. After digestion, glucose passes into the bloodstream, where it is used by cells for growth and energy.Uncontrolled glucose levels increase risk for diabetes. To improve your glucose, be conscious of your sugar intake andmaintain healthy eating habits.

TOBACCO/NICOTINECigarette smoking is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States, accounting for approximately 1 ofevery 5 deaths in the United States each year. Cigarettes, cigars, e-cigarettes, other tobacco products (such as chewingtobacco and snuff), and tobacco smoke contain nicotine. It is recommended to quit using these products to eliminate thetobacco/nicotine in your system. Different treatments work for different people. The most important thing is to try, try,and try again until you succeed! You can find an effective way to quit.
