#OurHearts are healthier when we quit smoking together. Smokers are up to 4x more likely to develop heart disease or to have a stroke, compared to nonsmokers. But it pays to quit. Just 1 year after quitting, your heart attack risk drops sharply.
#OurHearts eat healthier together. Get heart healthy for life by following the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan.
