Start on an exercise program. This can be as simple as walking for starters. If you are out of shape take it easy at first. Gradually increase your activities as you grow accustom to the increased physical exertion. Please consult with your physician before you begin.

Others things to consider are eliminating tobacco, excess alcohol and fast foods. Maintain a healthy diet and don’t overeat.

Diet: Eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits. Choose raw and organic for extra nutrients and optional health. Include foods high in calcium, magnesium and potassium. Consume herbs and foods such as garlic, onions and hawthorn. Supplement with a good multi vitamin and Co Q10.

Many people understand that lutein is good for the eyes. Not so many will realize that it is good for the heart. Lutein protects the eyes and heart by neutralizing free radicals. Lutein is found in grapes, egg yolks, squash, peas and oranges.

Lycopene found in tomatoes and other red vegetables helps the heart and blood vessels by stopping the oxidation of LDH cholesterol, slowing the buildup of plaque. Lycopene also may help prevent certain cancers.

Your teeth and gum health are important to fight against heart disease and hypertension as well. Regular dentist visits for checkups and periodic cleaning are important. You may benefit further by seeking a holistic dentist.

Keep in mind that the average serving of meat should be the size of a pack of cards, that a serving of cheese should be no larger than two dice and that any starchy foods such as potatoes or rice should be no larger than the size of a golf ball.

Strategy #2 Meat and Salad
If everything on the menu looks complex and high fat then try to choose the dish that consists mostly of meat and salad. If you are in a fancy restaurant forgo the hot turkey sandwich for the chicken Caesar salad and ask for the dressing on the side. If you are in a Taco Ball, choose a corn tortilla with meat and skip the sour cream.

Strategy #3 Drink Mineral Water
A stupendous amount of calories can be added to a meal the minute you add coffee or alcohol to the equation. Drink mineral water or plain water instead of coca cola, tea or other choices.

Strategy #5 Skip The Bread
Most restaurants bring baskets filled with bead to the table. This one is a no-brainer. Simply don't eat the bread. If you are at a fast food outlet, then you can eliminate calories by making your burger open faced. Simply remove the top half of the bun and discard it.

Strategy #6 Stay Away From Fried Foods.
When looking at a menu stay away from anything that is fried. Foods that are baked, boiled, steamed or roasted are much better bets. If something is fried it is best if it is fried in olive oil or wine.

Strategy #7 Bring a Low Glycemic Snack
If you are have the kind of busy life that barely allows the time for a healthy meal you can avoid succumbing to temptation at fast food joints by bringing your own glycemic snack. A banana, peanut butter and honey sandwich on whole grain bread is an excellent example of a low glycemic snack that quells hunger pains and provides you with plenty of energy.

Strategy #8 Practice H.A.L.T.
H.A.L.T. is an acronym used in addiction circles that means never get Hungry, Angry, Lonely or Tired. Most cravings and episodes of binge eating are triggered by any one of those four conditions. Determine what in your life is making you Hungry, Angry, Lonely or Tired and then think of ways that you can make changes to your schedule or lifestyle so that you don't have to eat on the run in the first place!
