Cardiovascular Disease

A weight-neutral approach to cardiovascular disease (CVD) emphasizes the health of the heart and circulatory system without the pressure to lose weight:

• Healthy eating patterns such as focusing on heart-healthy fats (e.g., omega-3s), fiber rich foods, and plenty of vegetables.

• Exercise that improves heart health, like aerobic activity, walking, or strength training, without the emphasis on weight loss.

• Stress management techniques like mindfulness, yoga, or deep breathing, which can reduce inflammation and promote cardiovascular health.

• Reducing sodium intake and focusing on natural, minimally processed foods to help control blood pressure.
