While heart disease is the number one cause of death for all of us – Hispanics, non-Hispanics, Latinos, and Latinas - there are things we can do to prevent it. Heart disease rarely develops suddenly, and in most cases evolves over time. To have a healthy heart, we need to exercise more and make better food choices. Take the steps to move your life in a heart healthy direction.
