Cardiovascular disease (CVD), like heart disease and stroke, is the number one killer of Americans.  The factors that increase a person's risk of CVD (such as high blood pressure, high blood cholesterol, obesity, smoking, physical inactivity, and diabetes) can be reduced by making some lifestyle changes.  The good news is that with a little information, a few skills, and a bit of motivation, these changes can be made.
