Atherosclerosis PreventionAtherosclerosis prevention starts with recognizing your risk factors for the condition, such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, or diabetes, and then treating and monitoring these conditions. An important component is adopting a healthy lifestyle, which includes following a healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight, being physically active, and stopping (or not starting) smoking. In addition, prevention of atherosclerosis may include taking medication.
