Heart health is something that many Asian women today do not take into consideration, especially if they lead busy lives in a busy metropolitan city<\/a>. A simple way to quickly assess if your heart is healthy is to check your body mass index (BMI) regularly, because abdominal obesity can lead to cardiovascular<\/a> risks. But while it can be a good estimate for the general population, your BMI might not be the most accurate measurement of your health risk<\/a>.<\/p>

It might be more accurate to use a measuring tape to measure your waist circumference for a better picture. Many health authorities recommend a circumference of less than or equal to 88cm for women and less than or equal to 102cm for men. It is also advisable to measure your cholesterol levels every 5 years and to check for hypertension.<\/p>

By being vigilant and following the tips in the gallery above, you should be able to maintain a healthier heart. Don\u2019t wait until it is too late.<\/p>
