A nurse is educating a client about strategies to reduce the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Which of the following lifestyle modifications is the most effective in reducing this risk?
Engaging in moderate aerobic exercise three times a week
Reducing tobacco use is one of the most effective lifestyle modifications to lower cardiovascular risk because smoking damages blood vessels, raises blood pressure, and increases the risk of atherosclerosis and heart attack. While regular exercise, moderate alcohol consumption, and reducing stress can contribute to heart health, smoking cessation has the most profound and immediate impact on reducing cardiovascular risks.
