Medical innovations in cardiovascular health are happening every day, and the science involved in protecting and repairing the heart is excellently funded and growing ever stronger—and medical intervention is not always necessary. Research shows that even small changes and improvements to one’s heart health—such as eating a healthy diet and exercising—can have big impacts on one’s longevity and quality of life.

Their overall resting blood pressure was then taken, and so was their blood pressure during “stress tests” designed to increase it. The researchers’ findings were as stated:
