Adopt a healthy lifestyle and develop a positive attitude towards life. These food items will keep you going:

1. Almonds, walnuts and fish are rich in omega-3-fatty acids that keep your cholesterol level in check

2. Opt for low-fat protein sources such as skimmed milk rather than whole milk and legumes like beans, peas and lentil.

3. Eat lots of vegetables and fruits. They contain substances that help prevent cardiovascular disease.
