3 steps for women to prevent heart disease
Step 1: Budget 3% of your day for exercise. If you're awake for 16 hours, that's 30 minutes. It can lower your risk.
Step 2: Eat more plants. Nutrients in fruits, veggies, beans, peas and whole grains protect your heart.
Step 3: Mention it! Doctors may not bring up heart disease, though it's the No. 1 risk for women. Ask about your risk.
