Appropriate diet, physical activity, stress reduction, and weight management are all factors that are easily controlled through lifestyle choices and habits.

Lifestyle changes should emphasize personal empowerment, and be supported by doctors, family, and the community. Education should be tailored to cultural heritage, beliefs, and behavioral norms.
Smoking and high blood pressure are responsible for the largest number of deaths in the US than any other risk factor.
