Protect Your Engine: Heart Health Strategies for Senior Men

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men in the United States — and the risk increases significantly with age. But it’s not inevitable. The lifestyle choices you make in your 60s and 70s have a measurable impact on your cardiovascular health, and even men who already have heart disease can significantly reduce their risk of a future event through the right combination of diet, exercise, medication adherence, and stress management. In this episode, we cover what senior men need to know about preventing and managing heart disease: the key risk factors, the warning signs too many men ignore, and the evidence-based strategies that actually work.
