What is Cardiovascular Prevention?
When it comes to healthcare, prevention can be defined as stopping disease or ailments before they happen. By stopping disease, patients can avoid costly medications or procedures and, hopefully, add years to their life.
When we talk about cardiovascular prevention, we are referring to preventing cardiovascular diseases and illnesses before they begin. This can involve adjusting your diet or adding physical activity to your daily routine.
But prevention isn’t always as easy as it sounds – sometimes it can seem like a difficult process. The work that is involved in staying healthy or preventing disease is different for each person, and it always involves some sort of physical activity, which can be hard to maintain over a long period of time.
Having a dedicated wellness coach to keep you motivated could be a beneficial option for you.
