Even though you may be at risk for some type of coronary artery disease, there are steps you can take to prevent how rapidly your condition develops. The most important lifestyle habits are not surprising: quitting smoking and exercising regularly. Eating a healthy diet that is low in saturated fats and rich in fruits and vegetables is also advised.
