How many of these recommendations from the American Heart Association relate to complementary lifestyle changes discussed on this blog?

• Increase consumption of fresh fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products and restrict their alcohol and sodium intake
• Quit smoking
• Exercise 60 to 90 minutes most or all days
• Reduce saturated fat intake
• Eat oily fish or another source of omega-3 fatty acids
• Do not take hormone replacement therapy
• Do not take folic acid, vitamin E, C and beta-carotene for primary or secondary prevention of heart disease
• Take low-dose aspirin therapy if they are ages 65 or older regardless of heart disease risk status, if benefits likely will outweigh other risks.
