7. Drink in moderation


While you don't necessarily have to remove alcohol from your diet to protect yourself against heart disease, you definitely do need to keep it within moderation. Those who drink in moderation actually tend to show decreased rates to heart disease, especially when wine is the beverage of choice. Moderation here would be classifield as one drink a day women or two drinks a day for men.
Also, keep an eye out for your caffeine consumption, as too much of this can also be problematic for your heart. Since caffeine does act as a central nervous system stimulant, it will put additional stress on the heart.
