Would you like to reduce your risk of heart attack? You may be surprised to learn that you don’t have to have a perfect diet or jog daily.

Surprisingly, you can dramatically reduce your risk of heart attack by how you take breaks. Dr. Paul Pearsall in his book The Heart’s Code, describes the factors leading to heart attacks as well as the factors that support your heart’s health.

One of the best ways to support heart health is to spend time with your loved ones whether it’s family or close friends. Specifically, eating three leisurely evening meals a week with your loved ones dramatically reduces the incidence of heart attacks.

A second key is to laugh as many times per day as possible, the harder, the better. Couple this with helping others and you have a proven formula to not only reduce your risk of heart attack, but to strengthen your overall immune response as well.
