Lower her sodium intake.
Explanation: Reducing sodium helps lower blood pressure, which reduces heart disease risk. (By contrast, whole grains are protective, more social connection is beneficial, and extra calcium doesn’t lower heart disease risk.) Other helpful steps: eat fruits/vegetables/whole grains, maintain healthy weight, exercise, avoid smoking, and manage cholesterol and blood pressure.
