At the same time, the blood pressure must be kept below 120/80 and the abdominal circumference must not be larger than 35 inches in men and 32 inches in women.

These conditions could be maintained following a proper diet which should be in moderation and have variety. Diet should have less intake of refined carbohydrates and fat, low quantity of food and high fiber content. Change in oil and variation in cereals and vegetables is also high recommended.Moreover, to prevent heart diseases, exercise should be part of one’s life with one hour of walk or 30 minutes of brisk walk or 20 minutes jogging every day.
