5. A healthy heart is important to maintain a healthy body. A person with a weak heart
would not be able to do heavy work or carry out strenuous activities. Health problems
such as coronary heart disease, high blood pressure (hypertension), stroke and heart
attack are the results of an unhealthy heart.

Below are some steps to a healthy heart.

a. Eat a diet of more _________________________ and less ______________________ and
maintain a healthy weight;
b. Exercise at least ____________ times every week for ______________ minutes to built a
stronger heart and reduce the chances of heart disease, as well as burn fat and
calories.
c. A diet high in cholesterol (animal fat) and trans fat (plant oils) will cause the lumen of
the blood vessels to ___________________. This will eventually result in a block and may
cause a heart attack.
d. Do not _______________ or use tobacco products as it would narrow the arteries
(atherosclerosis).
